Full Stack Developer, Backend | PHP, Laravel, Node | SaaS | ERP
🛠️ Reduced server costs by 40% and improved API response times to < 100 ms for previous clients. I specialize in PHP backend development, Python backend development, and Node.js backend development, architecture & cloud integration. That’s exactly what I build. I’m a top-performing full-stack developer specializing in robust SaaS platforms, LMS, food marketplace solutions, and ERP systems (PHP Laravel expert in SaaS, Healthcare, LMS). With 10+ years of experience as a web developer and backend developer, I create systems that don’t just function — they scale, adapt, and survive real business pressure. Whether you need a full-stack developer from Ukraine to build an enterprise application from scratch, a freelance healthcare developer with expertise in complex data security, an AI backend developer for smart integrations, or an expert WordPress backend developer to deliver high-performing web solutions, you are in the right place. 🏆 PROVEN EXPERIENCE Here is what I have delivered for my clients recently: ✅ Developed a custom ERP for an Inc. 500 company with complex enterprise-level integrations (sales, logistics, payments). ✅ Enhanced a crowdfunding and food marketplace platform, significantly improving performance and user engagement. ✅ Built responsive booking systems and custom e-commerce setups as a shopify backend developer. ✅ Led AWS cloud migrations that cut infrastructure costs while improving scalability and system speed. ✅ Delivered secure healthcare platforms with strict data protection requirements (HIPAA-ready) as a specialized freelance healthcare developer. 🔧 WHAT I DO & TECH STACK Expert at API integrations, backend app developer tasks, and optimizing cloud migrations to improve performance and cost-efficiency. I apply a deep stack of modern technologies for end-to-end backend development: • Backend Architecture: PHP (Laravel backend developer), Python (Django backend developer), Node.js (backend developer, NestJS), CodeIgniter, Yii • Frontend & Core Web: JavaScript, Vue.js, React, jQuery • CMS & E-Commerce: WordPress backend developer, Shopify backend developer • Databases & Cloud: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, AWS (S3, EC2, Lambda), CI/CD, System Architecture, REST API, AI Backend Integration As a versatile full stack developer, I seamlessly bridge the gap between heavy backend logic and pixel-perfect frontends. Whether you need a PHP backend developer for custom SaaS infrastructure, a Django backend developer, or a NestJS backend developer, I ensure everything works in perfect harmony. 💡 BONUS: I don’t just write code — I think in systems. That means fewer bottlenecks, cleaner architecture, and solutions that won’t need a “rewrite” in a year. Let’s build something reliable together. Drop me a message to discuss your project!
