I build reliable, scalable software for real-world problems.

• Backend Engineering

  Build solid backends with Laravel, PHP, and Node.js. Clear structure, predictable behavior, room to grow.

• API Development

  Design and ship REST APIs that are secure, documented, and usable by other developers.

• Full-Stack Development

  Ship complete products with Laravel on the backend and Vue.js on the frontend.

• Database Engineering

  Shape schemas, fix slow queries, improve indexes, and dig into MySQL, PostgreSQL, and NoSQL when needed.

• Third-Party Integrations

  Connect your app to payments, marketplaces, CRMs, cloud services, and other external platforms.

• Performance Optimization

  Find what's actually slow: application code, SQL, APIs, queues, file processing, or infrastructure.

• SaaS Development

  Help put the backend foundations in place for multi-tenant products and subscription-style apps.

• Enterprise Integrations

  Work with Salesforce, Boomi, Amazon, eBay, Google, and similar platforms without treating them like a black box.

• Cloud & Infrastructure

  Docker, AWS, S3, Redis, queues, process managers, web servers, CI/CD, and day-to-day deployment environments.

• Legacy System Modernization

  Improve an existing system carefully. Reduce debt and raise reliability without a reckless rewrite.

• High-Performance S3 File Upload System

  Large files going straight to Amazon S3 with multipart uploads and presigned URLs. More infrastructure work than a basic upload form.

  • AWS S3
  • Multipart Upload
  • Presigned URLs
  • Laravel

• Amazon Seller / Marketplace Integration

  Connecting apps to Amazon's seller APIs: auth, permissions, sync, and the quirks between local and production environments.

  • Amazon Seller API
  • OAuth
  • Integrations
  • Laravel

• Salesforce / Boomi Enterprise Integration

  Moving data across Salesforce and Boomi: endpoints, auth, sync, and debugging when more than one platform is involved.

  • Salesforce
  • Boomi
  • Enterprise
  • APIs

• Google Search Console / Google APIs

  Google API work with the auth, scopes, and permissions done properly inside Laravel.

  • Google APIs
  • OAuth
  • Search Console
  • Laravel

• Payment & Subscription Systems

  Stripe and Laravel Cashier for subscriptions, webhooks, and billing flows where mistakes actually hurt.

  • Stripe
  • Laravel Cashier
  • Webhooks
  • Billing

• Data-Heavy Laravel Applications

  Making Laravel apps faster when the data gets big: queries, indexes, Eloquent, and aggregation.

  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Eloquent
  • Performance

• Background Processing & Queues

  Laravel queues, workers, and Supervisor for work that shouldn't block a web request.

  • Laravel Queues
  • Redis
  • Supervisor
  • Jobs

• Multi-Tenant SaaS Architecture

  Thinking through multi-tenant Laravel apps: isolation, auth, and shared infrastructure without overcomplicating things.

  • SaaS
  • Multi-tenancy
  • Laravel
  • Security

• API Documentation & Developer Experience

  OpenAPI, Swagger, Postman, and Apidog as part of shipping APIs people can actually use.

  • OpenAPI
  • Swagger
  • Postman
  • Apidog

• Production Debugging & Optimization

  The work that rarely shows up as a portfolio card: making difficult live systems behave.

  • Production
  • Debugging
  • Performance
  • Ops

• Architecture

  I can turn a business need into a workable shape: data model, APIs, services, queues, and integrations.

• Problem Solving

  I like hard bugs and unclear failures more than tidy, pre-scoped tickets.

• Performance

  I've chased slow queries, heavy collections, upload bottlenecks, API lag, and infrastructure limits in live systems.

• Integration Engineering

  I've spent a lot of time connecting apps to external APIs and enterprise platforms.

• Production Debugging

  I'm comfortable with issues that only show up in production: auth, queues, servers, databases, uploads, and deploy quirks.

• Maintainability

  I want the next engineer to understand the code without needing a guided tour.

• Business Understanding

  I ask why a feature exists before I decide how to build it.

• Keep it as simple as it can be

  Use a more complex design when the problem needs it, not because it looks impressive.

• Understand the problem first

  Good implementation starts with knowing what the business actually needs.

• Production is the real finish line

  If it only works on your laptop, it isn't done.

• Performance is part of the product

  Slow software turns into a business problem sooner than people expect.

• APIs are contracts

  They should be predictable, documented, secure, and easy to maintain.

• Databases matter

  A lot of 'app performance' issues are really data-model and query issues.

• Automate the boring failure points

  Queues, CI/CD, tests, and monitoring remove a lot of avoidable human error.

• Write for the next engineer

  Someone else will have to change this later. Make that as painless as you can.
