About
I am a Full Stack Developer with 4 plus years of experience building web applications from product interface to backend services and deployment. I work mainly with PHP, Laravel, Next.js, React, TypeScript, Laravel, PostgreSQL, and Docker, and I have developed and maintain production projects on running on Forge, AWS and Vercel. My recent work includes platforms with authentication, payment integration, AI agent and Twilio integrations, REST APIs, background jobs, and responsive user experiences.
I focus on writing maintainable code, shipping features quickly, and balancing product needs with long term code quality. I am comfortable in fast moving teams and I adapt quickly to new tools and domains. I use testing practices to improve reliability and I support delivery through CI and deployment workflows.
I am also expanding my work in applied AI. I have been learning FastAPI for ML oriented services, practicing core ML concepts such as implementing gradient descent for linear regression, and integrating AI agent style workflows into real product flows.
