About

Who I Am

Senior Full Stack Developer focused on ecommerce platforms — custom Laravel, Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, and headless architectures — combined with high-availability web applications.

I bring a full-spectrum blend of backend (PHP/Laravel), frontend (Vue/Tailwind), mobile (Flutter), and DevOps, taking projects from discovery all the way through to production.

Having led teams of up to 8 developers, I focus on delivering secure checkout flows, optimised catalog and search, and data-driven integrations — always with an emphasis on performance, reliability, and measurable business outcomes.
