About

I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 11+ years of experience in building scalable SaaS platforms, fintech systems, and marketplace applications. I specialize in PHP (Laravel), payment integrations (Stripe/PayPal), and performance optimization. I’ve worked on systems handling 10K+ daily transactions and have strong experience in designing scalable APIs and microservices. I also leverage AI-assisted development tools such as ChatGPT and Cursor to improve development speed, debugging efficiency, and overall code quality. I would love to explore opportunities to contribute to your team.
