I am a self-motivated Full Stack PHP developer with extensive web applications development using the LAMP stack, Laravel, as well as frontend technologies (Vue.js, Angular). This involves both extending existing systems as well as greenfield projects. My recent project involved an admin dashboard (Laravel, Vue.js) that externally manages Moodle courses via web services (APIs), employing best practices such as TDD, GIT, Docker, CI/CD, and Agile. I thrive in cross-functional teams and have hands-on experience across DevOps, testing, and deployment workflows. I am comfortable in fast-paced environments, focused on writing clean, maintainable code, and delivering APIs, dashboards, and admin interfaces while contributing to architecture discussions and DevOps improvements.
