Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With over 13 years of experience building complex web applications, I help companies and agencies translate intricate business logic into scalable Laravel architectures.

My background is in the SaaS sector (including work at HomeShow), where I specialized in automating workflows and building robust API connections.

Why work with me?

Seniority & Speed: No hand-holding required. I understand complex briefs and translate them directly into quality code.

Security Mindset: As a junior ethical hacker, I build code that is 'secure by design'. I look beyond just functionality and protect your data from vulnerabilities.

Results-Oriented: I work highly efficiently in focused blocks, making me the ideal partner for agencies looking for senior 'overflow' capacity or specialized expertise on a project basis.

Expertise:

PHP 8+, Laravel (incl. Livewire), PostgreSQL, API Integrations, Security Audits & Refactoring.
