My Journey

The intersection of Code & Performance.

Full-Stack Developer with 5+ years of experience building scalable web applications and eCommerce platforms. Deep expertise in backend development with Laravel, PHP, Node.js, and core WordPress — including custom plugins, themes, Gutenberg blocks, and REST API extensions — paired with strong frontend skills in React.js, Vue.js, Svelte, and Next.js.

Experienced in RESTful API design and integration, query optimization, memory management, and performance tuning across the stack. Infrastructure experience with Docker, Memcached, and Cloudflare CDN — from architecting backend systems and database performance to building dynamic, responsive UIs and dashboards.

As a Team Lead, I've owned full delivery cycles — from sprint planning and code reviews to CI/CD pipelines and production deployments — across clients spanning fintech, healthcare, and media. Strong collaborator in Agile teams with a focus on clean, maintainable code and scalable architecture.

Key Philosophy
"Performance is not a feature you add at the end — it's an architecture decision you make at the start."
