Senior Backend & Platform Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling high-traffic platforms across recruitment, SaaS, and education technology. Over the years, I’ve worked on backend architecture, API design, AWS infrastructure, database performance, caching, search, integrations, and scaling SaaS applications as traffic and business requirements grew. Much of my recent work has involved solving real production problems around performance, reliability, scalability, and maintainability, including researching solutions and implementing them in production. I can help with backend engineering, PHP/Laravel, API design, performance optimisation, AWS, code and architecture reviews, career guidance, and transitioning from senior developer to lead-level responsibilities. My mentoring style is practical and experience-driven. I prefer discussing real problems, trade-offs, and implementation decisions rather than only theory.
