5+ years building scalable backend systems with Laravel & Vue.js

About Me

I'm a software engineer with a Cyber Security degree and 5+ years of professional experience building production systems. My day-to-day revolves around the Laravel ecosystem — designing APIs, writing tests, and scaling backend architecture. On the frontend, I work with Vue.js to bring it all together.

I care about writing clean, well-tested code and building tools that make other developers' lives easier. When I'm not coding, you'll find me outdoors — whether that's volunteering with young people or exploring the countryside.
