I build backend systems for business-critical workflows

Computer Engineer and backend-focused Full Stack Developer specialized in PHP/Laravel, SQL, legacy systems, automation, integrations, CI/CD, and maintainable web applications.

I help turn complex business processes into reliable, maintainable software for real operations, with a focus on data, automation, integrations, and production reliability.

About Me

I am a Computer Engineer and backend-focused Full Stack Developer specialized in turning business rules, data, and operational processes into maintainable backend systems.

My work centers on translating complex operational workflows into maintainable systems: data modeling, SQL optimization, versioned migrations, API integrations, automated validations, and production-oriented web applications.

I work with legacy PHP/MySQL systems, Laravel applications, WordPress websites, Docker, GitLab CI/CD, and AI-powered automation, with experience in production systems, operational workflows, and data-oriented applications.
