I am a Senior Backend Engineer with over 16 years of hands-on experience building robust, scalable software. My expertise is deeply rooted in modern PHP architecture, allowing me to translate complex business needs into clean, functional code.

In recent years, I have focused heavily on building reliable integrations with external platforms like Meta, HubSpot, Stripe, various Auth systems and many more. To achieve high velocity without sacrificing quality, I rely heavily on advanced AI tools in my daily workflow. Combining my deep architectural expertise with the speed of AI allows me to multiply my output and solve complex architectural challenges much faster.
