He specializes in PHP (Laravel), modern JavaScript (Vue.js and vanilla), and building SaaS multi-tenant systems on AWS, with deep practical experience integrating payment gateways, booking systems, and third-party hardware for entertainment venues. Comfortable from low-level assembler to high-level web frameworks, he has led teams, recruited and organized distributed Agile teams, and consistently delivered performance-tuned applications from browser to server.
