What I Do
I build reliable, scalable systems across the full stack — from frontend to API to cloud infrastructure.
B2C Platform Development
High-traffic commerce platforms with order management, inventory, and multi-channel support built to scale.
Subscription & Billing
Stripe-powered subscription systems — lifecycle management, webhooks, billing logic, and access enforcement.
Event-Driven Systems
Async workflows with RabbitMQ, AWS SQS, and Redis queues — idempotent processing, retry/backoff, and dead-letter queue patterns for fault-tolerant backends.
SaaS & API Engineering
Multi-tenant SaaS platforms and microservice APIs built with PHP/Laravel and Node.js/NestJS, with strict tenant isolation and cloud infrastructure on AWS.
Senior Software Engineer
