Results-driven Backend Engineer with 7+ years of experience across PHP frameworks (Laravel, CodeIgniter) and Node.js (Express.js), building and scaling production web applications. Skilled in REST API design, database optimization, third-party integrations, and cloud deployment (AWS, CloudPanel). I've led small dev teams, owned application architecture end-to-end, and worked directly with clients to turn requirements into reliable, maintainable systems — across PHP and JavaScript stacks alike.
