Hi, I'm Anurag — a Senior PHP/Backend Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and scaling production systems for enterprise and startup products. I've worked on projects like Assurant GLOW (an enterprise vehicle-protection platform for a US client), where I handled backend architecture, API development, and L3 support. Along the way, I've improved API response times by ~40% through Redis caching and MySQL query optimization, worked on DRM-based video delivery systems, and integrated payment gateways for products like MyVeganTrainer. My core stack includes PHP, Laravel, CodeIgniter, RESTful APIs, MySQL, Redis, and I follow OOP/SOLID principles, CI/CD workflows, and security best practices (OWASP) in everything I build. I now help developers who are: → Preparing for backend/PHP interviews and want honest, real-world mock practice → Looking for a code or architecture review before shipping → Trying to break into freelancing and don't know where to start → Figuring out their next career move in backend development I keep sessions practical and no-fluff — real scenarios from actual production systems, not textbook answers. Book a session below and let's talk about where you're stuck
