9+ years of software engineering experience, including Technical Lead responsibilities across two enterprise project teams.
Laravel, PHP 8.4, Python, Django, Node.js, SQL-heavy systems, secure APIs, performance tuning, and production-safe delivery.
Architecture reviews, impact analysis, modernization planning, and Laravel 11/12 upgrade execution.
AWS, Azure DevOps, Docker, Cloudflare, CI/CD workflows, release coordination, and operational reliability.
Technical Lead responsibilities across two enterprise initiatives, including reviews, planning, mentoring, and client discussions.
I work across implementation, modernization, and leadership layers so teams can move from idea to release with more clarity and less risk.
I support engineering teams with the technical and delivery work that sits around implementation but strongly influences quality, predictability, and scale.
Reviewing systems, identifying risk, and helping teams align implementation with maintainable architecture choices.
Improving delivery discipline through review quality, branching strategy, rollout thinking, and rollback preparedness.
Designing scheduled jobs, background automation, event-driven integrations, and webhook flows that stay reliable in production.
Supporting payment gateway integration, checkout journeys, catalog and order workflows, and commerce features with safer delivery.
Planning framework upgrades, compatibility checks, testing support, and helping teams build stronger Laravel, AI, Git, and debugging habits.
