With 5 years of experience as CTO at a U.S.-based company, I spearheaded the development of a product built entirely from the ground up, scaling it to serve a few thousand users. After our company closed during the pandemic, I transitioned to software development roles in European and North American companies, further enhancing my technical expertise while collaborating across diverse cultures and time zones.Since 2015, I have specialized in Laravel development, gaining deep expertise in PHP, SOLID principles, RESTful API design, MySQL database management, and Git version control. I am also well-versed in modern JavaScript frameworks (Svelte and AngularJS) and have worked with Vue.js and React on feature implementations. Additionally, I have experience with testing frameworks (PHPUnit), containerization (Docker), and cloud infrastructure (AWS, DigitalOcean). My proficiency in applying advanced architecture patterns like event-driven development and microservices ensures scalability, performance, and maintainability. This combination of leadership, full-stack development, and expertise in Laravel allows me to deliver robust, high-performance software solutions efficiently. I have a strong background in working with a variety of other technologies across the software development stack. This versatility allows me to easily adapt to new technologies and programming languages, making me capable of contributing effectively to projects that extend beyond PHP and Laravel.
