I am a Senior Backend Specialist and Open Source contributor passionate about clean code and modular architecture. With a deep mastery of the Laravel ecosystem, I help teams build software that is easy to maintain and scale. My role extends beyond writing code. As an Agile Team Lead, I focus on engineering excellence, fostering collaboration, and mentoring developers to deliver high-quality solutions. I combine this leadership with strong operational expertise in Cloud infrastructure (AWS) and Dockerized environments, ensuring that the systems I design are not only powerful but also production-ready. Technically, my expertise spans from designing RESTful APIs and Microservices to solving intricate database challenges. Locally, I am an active member of the developer community (KalimeroMK), creating packages that simplify fintech integrations for developers across the region. I believe in pragmatism, stability, and continuous learning.
