Profile

Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 6+ years of hands-on experience taking products from requirement to production: architecture, code, deployment, and ongoing ownership. Core stack is Laravel/PHP and React/TypeScript on MySQL/PostgreSQL, with Next.js and Node.js (Express) services, Redis, Docker, Nginx, and AWS.

AI-native in daily engineering: I use Claude Code and GitHub Copilot as agentic coding tools across the full cycle (codebase inspection, planning, implementation, testing, debugging, and refactoring), driven by structured, phased prompts with explicit scope, protected API and database contracts, and acceptance criteria, so AI-generated code stays reviewable, secure, and maintainable. I build LLM features into products with OpenAI APIs, including an AI receptionist for a multi-tenant WhatsApp SaaS.

Experienced mentor and trainer: delivered a 160-hour full-stack web developer program and coach developers on architecture, API design, and code quality.
