About

I'm a software developer with a passion for learning and creating. Over the past decade, I've built everything from dating platforms serving 500k+ users to crypto exchange systems, automotive CRMs, and large-scale news publications.

My core expertise is in the PHP/Laravel ecosystem, complemented by strong frontend skills with Vue.js and modern JavaScript. I thrive on complex challenges — whether it's migrating legacy systems without downtime, optimizing 3TB databases, or building full-stack applications from the ground up.

I took 2025 off to focus on personal growth, learning new technologies, and building my own products. I'm passionate about AI, web scraping, and creating tools that solve real problems.See what I've been up to
