Professional Summary

Senior Backend Engineer and Tech Lead with 10+ years of hands-on experience in PHP (Laravel) and Vue.js ecosystem (PrimeVue). Actively involved from the beginning in building a large multi-domain platform that brings CRM, ITSM, and operational workflows into one configurable application, where each team works through its own tasks within workflows that track service delivery and change/incident tickets. Designed and evolved the architecture to support client-specific adaptation, specialized team workflows, and onboarding without code duplication, while integrating REST APIs with technical systems for impact analysis and service coordination. In parallel, maintained and delivered smaller internal applications as operational needs emerged; among other notable results, resolved memory-limit crashes on heavy 1M+ row reports and brought execution down to seconds and migrated 10+ legacy applications to Docker, with strong focus on backend architecture, complex business workflows, and reliable delivery across PHP, Vue.js, Docker, NGINX, and Linux environments.
