Rameez H.
Senior Software Engineer 7+ Years | PHP ,WordPress, AI/LLM Integration
Need a developer who can take your project from a vague idea to a deployed, scalable product — and actually own it? I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building SaaS platforms, e-commerce systems, custom WordPress solutions, and AI-powered tools for clients around the world. I specialize in PHP (Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter) on the backend and React.js, Vue.js, Next.js, and Node.js on the frontend — so whether you need a robust server-side architecture, a fast modern UI, or both working together seamlessly, I've got you covered. I also build and customize WordPress sites and custom plugins for clients who need flexibility beyond off-the-shelf themes. What I bring to your project: ✅ Full-stack development — Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis ✅ Modern JS frameworks — React.js, Vue.js, Next.js, Node.js, REST APIs ✅ WordPress & custom plugin development — tailored functionality, not bloated plugins ✅ AI & LLM integration — OpenAI API, GPT-powered features, AI chatbots, content generators, and intelligent automation built directly into your application ✅ Cloud & DevOps — AWS (EC2, S3), server setup, deployment, CI/CD pipelines, performance optimization ✅ Database design — efficient schemas, query optimization, caching strategies A few things I've actually built: An AI-powered website builder (Innove.ai) that generates and deploys full websites from natural language prompts using the OpenAI API A SaaS design platform with an AI logo maker and real-time customization engine A multi-tenant SaaS CRM for task, client, and pipeline management A multivendor e-commerce marketplace with vendor onboarding and Stripe integration Backend systems for a B2B platform serving global clients, plus a high-traffic app supporting 50,000+ monthly users Along the way I've cut page load times by 30% through caching and query optimization, reduced API response times by 40% through performance tuning, and set up CI/CD pipelines on AWS EC2 for smooth, reliable deployments. Why work with me: With 7+ years of hands-on engineering experience, I don't just write code — I think about scalability, security, and maintainability from day one. I follow clean architecture (MVC, SOLID principles), write code other developers can actually work with, and communicate clearly throughout the project so you're never left guessing about progress. I've worked directly with international clients across SaaS, e-commerce, and AI-driven products, and I'm comfortable owning a project end-to-end — from architecture decisions to deployment and post-launch support. Whether you need to: Build a SaaS platform or web app from scratch Modernize a legacy PHP/Laravel codebase Add AI/LLM features to an existing product Develop a custom WordPress site or plugin Set up or optimize your AWS infrastructure Build a fast, responsive frontend with React, Vue, or Next.js ...I'd love to help you get it done right the first time. Let's discuss your project — send me a message and I'll get back to you quickly with practical next steps.
