Available to hire
I’m an experienced web developer who enjoys building and shipping reliable applications using strong engineering principles (including SOLID and clean OOP). I’ve worked extensively with PHP frameworks such as Symfony, Laravel, and Slim, and I’m very hands-on with MySQL, API design, and performance-focused database work.
I also bring solid JavaScript knowledge and front-end collaboration experience (Angular and React), along with good DevOps exposure in AWS and release workflows using Docker/Kubernetes. I like taking ownership, mentoring teammates, and turning requirements into working solutions—especially when the work involves debugging, optimizing queries, and improving code quality through tests and automation.
