About me
Back-end engineer focused on building scalable systems, defining architecture, and improving performance in production environments.
I work primarily with Laravel, PHP, and MySQL, designing and evolving systems that handle real-world complexity — from service integrations to performance optimization and distributed workloads using Redis and queues.
In my current role, I contribute to architectural decisions, lead backend implementation of new platforms, and improve system reliability through better design, testing, and documentation.
I also bring experience in accessible front-end development and continuously expand my DevOps skills (Docker, CI/CD, Kubernetes) to better understand and support the full delivery lifecycle.
I thrive in environments where I can take ownership, solve complex problems, and build systems that scale.
