Professional Summary

My journey in software development has been driven by a relentless curiosity and a passion for turning ideas into reality. What started as a Computer Science degree quickly grew into a multifaceted career, beginning with roles in data analysis and GIS, where I learned the importance of precision and structure. This foundation paved the way for my transition into full-stack development.

I have spent years honing my skills, building a deep expertise in PHP frameworks like Laravel and CodeIgniter, as well as content management systems like WordPress and Drupal. I've had the privilege of developing a wide array of solutions, including e-commerce platforms, custom client websites, and critical modules for Point of Sale (POS) systems covering everything from authentication to item management.

Now, as a Technical Lead, I apply this broad experience to guide complex projects, most notably leading the successful API integration of a major client. I am just as comfortable architecting a backend system as I am implementing a UI, assisting with DevOps, or resolving a critical production issue.
