Senior Backend Developer (PHP / Laravel / Go) · Zend Certified Engineer (ZEND033481) · Certified Scrum Master
I build high-performance, event-driven backend systems for fintech, telecom, and SaaS products — and lead teams that ship them in production. 10+ years of PHP, with Laravel as my daily driver; deep experience in Symfony, CodeIgniter, MySQL tuning, and Kubernetes-native deployments on AWS.
Currently focused on SentinelGo — a self-hosted enterprise IT-ops platform that consolidates MDM, SIEM, ticketing, and AI-driven workflow automation. Built from scratch with Go, FastAPI, and Laravel.
