Full-Stack Developer | API & SaaS Specialist | 8+ Years PHP, Node.js, Laravel
Full-stack developer with 8 years building web applications, REST APIs, and SaaS products using PHP (Laravel, CakePHP) and Node.js. Currently developing Zafabill, an invoicing SaaS for Indonesian SMEs, and actively taking freelance projects.
WHAT I DO:
- REST API design & backend architecture
- Full-stack web applications (Laravel, Node.js)
- Database design & optimization (MySQL, Redis)
- SaaS product development & deployment
- Payment gateway integration (Stripe, local methods)
- System architecture consultation
MY APPROACH:
I focus on understanding your business problem first, not just code requirements. I ask questions, provide clear estimates, and deliver production-ready code. Prefer working with clients who value long-term collaboration over quick fixes.
EXPERIENCE:
- Built 10+ production web applications
- Developed APIs handling millions of requests
- Architected SaaS backends from scratch
- Mentored junior developers
- Strong in database optimization & system design
CURRENT FOCUS:
Specialized in backend-heavy projects, API development, and SaaS architecture. Not the design guy (use your designer or Figma), but I'll build the best backend for any idea.
