Summary

Updated Jan 2026

As a senior engineer with 20+ years of experience building web and mobile products. I’ve delivered products from early concept through production deployment, scaling, and long-term maintenance across various industries, including regulated environments where security, privacy, and reliability are non-negotiable.

I’m a pragmatic full-stack builder with deep strength in Laravel, paired with modern front-end tooling like React, Vue, and AlpineJS. I care about creating real harmony between backend services and frontend needs: clean, opinionated APIs, predictable behavior flows, elegant UI, and codebases that are simple, readable, and easily to understand.

I’ve also fully embraced AI-assisted development as a serious productivity tool — not a shortcut. I use it daily to accelerate delivery, reduce time spent on boilerplate, and explore solutions faster, while staying disciplined about quality, security, and correctness. The result is simple: I ship better products faster, with less risk, and more focus on user value.
