01 — About
Engineering outcomes, not just features
I'm a Software Development Lead with 10+ years of professional web development experience — 5 years hands-on as a developer and 5+ years leading projects and teams. I've collaborated across team sizes from solo builds to departments of 40+ developers.
My strength is Laravel and PHP architecture, system integrations, AWS hosting and server management, and full Software Development Life Cycle delivery using Agile (Scrum, Kanban) and Waterfall methodologies.
As an AI engineer I run six models in a daily workflow — Claude, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT, Cursor and DeepSeek — across planning, coding, code review and documentation to accelerate delivery and raise code quality.
