About Me

I am a passionate and results-driven software engineer with over a decade of professional experience, starting my career in 2012. Since 2018, I have specialized in backend development with Laravel, building robust and scalable systems for a variety of industries.

My core expertise lies in designing and developing SaaS platforms, e-commerce solutions, and complex ERP/CRM systems. I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality management panels, business process automation tools, and custom dashboards tailored to client needs.

I am highly proficient in cloud architecture and DevOps, with extensive hands-on experience on AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, ECS, CloudFormation, and more). My technical toolkit includes advanced use of relational and non-relational databases (MySQL, MongoDB), caching and search technologies (Redis, Elasticsearch, Meilisearch), and real-time data processing.

On the frontend, I build modern, performant interfaces using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and React Native. I am a strong advocate for clean code, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and agile methodologies.

As a team lead, I mentor engineers, drive technical excellence, and foster a culture of collaboration and innovation. I thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving complex problems, and am always eager to learn and adopt new technologies.
