Experienced Software Engineer
I design and build systems, integrations, and payment flows that scale for real-world production use
25+ years of writing code and building secure and reliable infrastructure. PHP, Laravel and Symfony at the core, with deep experience in API integrations, Stripe/payment flows, MCP-based tooling, and practical AI automations.
About
Pragmatic developer with strong ownership, technical curiosity and a bias toward shipping reliable solutions. I enjoy complex systems, integrations and automation, and I work well across both technical and non-technical teams.
I've scaled platforms from a handful of customers to thousands, built and hardened payment and subscription flows, and now build practical AI automations and MCP-based tooling - not as a buzzword, but as a tool that actually saves time on real codebases.
