I'm a Senior PHP Developer with 18+ years of experience building scalable backend systems using Laravel and CodeIgniter. I help businesses create reliable web applications with clean architecture, RESTful APIs, and solid database design. I specialize in building robust PHP applications with a strong focus on API integrations, microservices, and relational databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. I've led full-cycle development of scalable systems using modern PHP frameworks, ensuring clean architecture and long-term maintainability. What I bring to your project: - 13+ years of hands-on experience building SaaS platforms and business-critical systems - Expert-level development with Laravel and CodeIgniter - Scalable microservices and modular architecture design - RESTful API development and third-party integrations - Database modeling, migrations, and performance optimization (MySQL, PostgreSQL) - Secure authentication, access control, and session management - Docker-based development and deployment workflows - Background jobs, queues, and asynchronous processing in Laravel - Maintenance and custom development for WordPress sites Projects I've worked on include: - Point of Sale and Invoicing System: A full-featured POS and electronic billing solution for small and mid-sized businesses, with inventory control and multi-user support. - Donation Management Platform: A web system for an international NGO to manage donors, recurring contributions, and financial reports, with advanced role-based access and localization features. - Airline Loyalty Program Backend: A reward points system backend for an airline, including complex rules for earning and redeeming miles and customer segmentation. - Condominium Management CRM: A SaaS platform for managing residential properties, including payment tracking, maintenance requests, and tenant communication tools. - WordPress Site Administration: Long-term maintenance and optimization for several WordPress websites, including custom plugin work and performance tuning. I write clean, maintainable code and focus on solving business problems, not just coding tasks. I’m a proactive communicator committed to building long-term relationships. I approach each project not just as a coder, but as a problem-solver who aligns technology with your business goals.
