About

I’m an experienced Software Developer specializing in JavaScript and PHP, with a focus on building scalable, high-performance web applications for startups and product-driven companies. My core expertise includes React, Node.js, and Express on the JavaScript side, along with Laravel and Yii for backend development. I enjoy designing clean architectures, writing maintainable code, and building systems that scale as products grow. Over the last 2+ years, I’ve worked closely with developers, designers, and product managers to turn ideas into reliable software — from launching new platforms to improving and scaling existing applications. What I enjoy most about development is solving real-world problems through technology and contributing to products that people actually use. I’m always open to connecting with developers, founders, and teams building interesting products.
