Senior Laravel/PHP Backend Dev | REST APIs, MySQL & AI Agents

Need a backend engineer who can build APIs that actually hold up under real-world load — and lead a team while doing it? I'm your person.

I'm a backend-focused software engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable APIs and mission-critical applications in PHP/Laravel, with hands-on experience in Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Vue.js and React.js.

Over the past year, I've stepped into a technical leadership role — leading engineering initiatives, mentoring developers, and owning architecture decisions — while staying hands-on with backend code myself.

What I bring to your project:

Backend & API engineering (Laravel, PHP, REST APIs, MySQL)
System design for applications built to scale and stay maintainable
Performance optimization — query tuning, caching, architecture cleanup
Team leadership and code review, if you need someone to own delivery, not just execute tickets

I'm also expanding into AI-powered application development, backed by a Google certification in Gemini Enterprise application building — useful if your project involves AI agents or integrations.

Share your project details and I'll reply within a few hours with clear next steps.
