Backend & full stack — PHP / Laravel (TALL), APIs, queues & DevOps
10+ years PHP · Laravel / TALL · queues & webhooks · Docker / AWS
I build production PHP systems end to end — mostly Laravel and the TALL stack (Tailwind, Alpine.js, Livewire), plus REST APIs, webhooks, and queues on MySQL. Comfortable owning a feature past the pull request: schema and query shape, integrations, deploy pipelines, and debugging from app code through to the database or infrastructure.
Daily work with Docker and GitHub Actions; AWS (EC2, ECS, RDS, SQS) and Terraform for ongoing client ops. Used to remote, international teams and explaining trade-offs clearly.
ChatGPT and Cursor are part of how I work. Open to interesting projects.
