About

I'm a full-stack developer building web products and solutions. I work with React and Next.js on the frontend, Laravel on the backend, and enterprise-level WordPress.

Many of my projects span multiple years, which has taught me to design for maintainability, scalability, and long-term thinking.

Remote work is my default. Been doing it since day one, working across timezones with distributed teams. Keeping projects moving through clear communication is just how I work.

Some projects I've worked on over the years

Large-Scale Internal Application

Built a large-scale internal application for a global company in the medical aesthetics industry. Used React and TypeScript on frontend and Laravel on backend to handle complex business logic and data flows. The challenge was creating something maintainable that could grow with their needs. It's now central to their internal operations.

Enterprise WordPress Solution

Maintained and evolved a massive WordPress multisite for one of the world's largest cybersecurity companies over 10 years: 50+ subsites, 200+ plugins. Built custom plugin architecture, managed complex data relationships across sites, and integrated multiple APIs. Security was critical given the nature of the business. The scale was intense with constant changes and complex requirements.
