About me

Curious about me? Here you have it:

I'm a passionate, Senior Software Engineer who specializes in backend development and cloud engineering (PHP, Laravel, Node.js). I am enthusiastic about building scalable, enterprise-level applications that serve millions of users. Performance optimization, secure architecture, and writing clean, maintainable code matters to me.

I began my journey as a web developer in 2017, and since then, I've continued to grow and evolve as a developer, taking on new challenges and learning the latest technologies along the way. Now, with 8 years of experience in my backend development journey, I'm building enterprise-grade applications using modern technologies such as Laravel, PHP, Vue.js, Node.js, Docker, AWS, Azure, MySQL, and much more.

I am very much a progressive thinker and enjoy working on products end to end, from system architecture design all the way to deployment and scaling. I have successfully led teams and mentored developers, contributing to faster development cycles and improved code quality.

When I'm not in full-on developer mode, you can find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open source projects, or working on side projects. You can follow my work on GitHub where I share my latest projects and contributions, or connect with me on LinkedIn.

Finally, some quick bits about me.
