My Story

I specialize in full-stack development using PHP (Laravel, Symfony), Python (Django, FastAPI), and JavaScript (Node.js, Express, Vue.js, React). I have a strong background in software architecture, algorithm design, and system scalability.

Throughout my career, I've delivered production systems including an IVR platform processing 100K+ daily calls and a recommendation engine serving over 2M users per day. I'm skilled in architecting reliable backends, developing responsive frontends, and deploying on AWS with Docker and CI/CD pipelines.

I believe in writing clean, maintainable code and following best practices. I'm passionate about system design, performance optimization, and building solutions that scale.
