About Me

As a Senior Full-Stack Developer originally trained in backend development, I bridge server-side architecture with modern frontend experiences. Now serving as Teamlead of Frontend Development, my journey began with mastering backend technologies, providing deep insights into application performance, security, and scalability.

I specialize in building enterprise-grade applications using Laravel, Laminas, and Docker, with extensive experience in database optimization and DevOps workflows. Currently expanding my expertise in TypeScript, Vue.js, and Inertia.js, I deliver complete full-stack solutions that are both technically robust and user-friendly.

With 36+ repositories on GitHub and active open source contributions, I'm passionate about clean code, best practices, and continuous learning. My commitment to the developer community has earned multiple GitHub achievements while building better web applications for the future.
