AI-augmented Developer | Architecting Smart Backends

Senior full-stack engineer (since 2005) building AI-powered web apps and SaaS products. I integrate Claude, OpenAI, and modern LLMs into production systems backed by deep Laravel and Node.js engineering. I've evolved from a Laravel/PHP backend specialist into an AI-augmented engineer who uses Claude, OpenAI, and Cursor as core tools not buzzwords. The result: I ship production-grade apps faster, with cleaner architecture, than traditional dev cycles. What I help clients build: AI-powered SaaS products and internal automation tools LLM integrations (Claude, OpenAI, GPT-4o) RAG, chatbots, document Q&A, content generation, semantic search Scalable backends and REST APIs with PHP/Laravel, Node.js, Symfony Async pipelines and real-time data flows (RabbitMQ, Redis, Go workers) Browser automation and workflow tools (Selenium, Puppeteer) Admin dashboards (Laravel Nova) and observability (ELK Stack, Kong API Gateway) Recent work: Architected AI-driven eCommerce and ERP backends, including a Contextual Commerce Engine with AI-powered product discovery and embedded checkout Built LLM-integrated SaaS tools and internal AI dashboards Deployed Kong, ELK, and CI/CD pipelines for production reliability Stack: PHP, Laravel, Symfony, Lumen, Node.js, Go, REST APIs, MySQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Redis, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kong, Claude API, OpenAI API, Cursor, Git/GitHub. How I work: Ask the right questions before writing code Ship a working prototype in week 1 you see software early, not just at the end Clean architecture, TDD, CI/CD code your next engineer can actually maintain Async, clear communication no ghosting, no surprises If you're integrating an LLM into an existing product, building an AI SaaS from scratch, or modernizing a legacy backend, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
