Jul 2019 - Present • 7 yrs 3 mos

In my capacity as a Senior PHP and Laravel Developer, I lead the development of complex, enterprise grade web applications while mentoring team members and overseeing technical decision making across multiple projects. My responsibilities include architecting robust database systems, designing efficient application structures, and implementing advanced features using core PHP and the Laravel framework to meet demanding client specifications. I have hands on experience integrating diverse third party APIs, configuring secure payment gateways, and building custom modules for business software including point of sale systems, customer relationship management platforms, and inventory tracking solutions. A significant part of my role involves database optimization, query performance tuning, and ensuring data integrity across large scale applications handling substantial user traffic. I regularly collaborate with cross functional teams to define project requirements, establish coding standards, and conduct code reviews that maintain high quality output across the development lifecycle. My work also extends to server management and deployment on Linux based cPanel hosting environments, where I handle configuration, security hardening, and performance monitoring to guarantee consistent application uptime. With a strong foundation built from years of progressive experience, I bring a comprehensive understanding of full stack development, covering everything from front end interface design using Livewire and Filament to back end logic, API development, and database architecture. This senior role has allowed me to refine my problem solving abilities, technical leadership skills, and capacity to deliver scalable software solutions that align with long term business objectives while maintaining strict standards of code quality and system reliability.

WordPress Developer

Jul 2018 - Present • 8 yrs 3 mos

As a WordPress Developer, I focused on building, customizing, and maintaining WordPress websites for clients across various industries, delivering solutions ranging from simple business websites to complex eCommerce platforms. My work included developing custom themes and plugins tailored to specific client requirements, converting PSD design files into fully responsive and functional WordPress websites, and integrating essential features such as contact forms, booking systems, and content management functionalities. I gained extensive experience working with WooCommerce to build and configure online stores, including product catalog setup, payment gateway integration, shipping configuration, and overall storefront optimization to enhance user experience and conversion rates. Throughout my time in this role, I handled website performance optimization, ensuring fast loading speeds and search engine friendly structures, along with implementing security best practices to protect client websites from common vulnerabilities. I also managed website hosting, domain configuration, and server setup using cPanel and Linux based environments, providing complete end to end service from development through deployment. Working closely with clients, I translated their business needs into practical website solutions, offering guidance on content structure, plugin selection, and ongoing maintenance strategies. Having contributed to a substantial number of WordPress projects over the years, this role gave me deep familiarity with the WordPress ecosystem, plugin architecture, and theme development standards, forming a strong foundation that later supported my progression into full stack Laravel development and broader PHP based application building.

Graphic Designer

Mar 2018 - Present • 8 yrs 7 mos

Working as a Graphic Designer, I was responsible for creating visually compelling design assets that supported branding, marketing, and digital presence for a wide range of clients and projects. My daily work involved using industry standard tools such as CorelDRAW and Adobe Photoshop to design logos, banners, social media graphics, business cards, brochures, and other promotional materials that effectively communicated brand identity and messaging. I developed a strong eye for visual composition, color theory, and typography, ensuring that every design piece aligned with client expectations while maintaining professional aesthetic standards. In addition to standalone graphic design work, I also created PSD to WordPress conversions, transforming static design mockups into fully functional website layouts, which helped bridge the gap between visual design and web development. This experience required close attention to detail, precise pixel level accuracy, and an understanding of how design elements translate into responsive web interfaces. Collaborating with clients and internal teams, I gathered requirements, presented design concepts, and revised work based on feedback to achieve final approval, developing strong communication and client management skills along the way. This role built a solid creative foundation that later supported my transition into web development, giving me a unique advantage of combining design sensibility with technical implementation. My background in graphic design continues to influence my approach to user interface development, ensuring that the applications I build are not only functional but also visually polished and user friendly.
