20+ years experienced Senior Full-stack Software Engineer with strong problem-solving skills.
While often referred to as an IT expert, I see myself as a self-motivated developer who proactively seeks opportunities for growth, both in my own skills and in the products I work on, without being pushed. I am very detail-oriented and enjoy designing system architectures that are pragmatic rather than overly theoretical. Consistently demonstrating a high level of expertise and the value I bring to my clients — I've got the track record that speaks for itself!
As a full-stack developer with slightly more of a back-end focus, I prefer to build APIs or "modern monolith" full-stack applications on top of Laravel framework using progressive technologies like Inertia.js and Livewire to reduce the overhead of front-end routing and state management until it is really needed. This helps to significantly reduce time to market and maintenance while still providing great performance and extensibility. I have extensive experience building and scaling high-load systems with millions of active users and background jobs, from system design to fine tuning.

I take a user-centered approach, thinking critically about products as if I were the end user, continuously refining and improving the UX. Passionate about technology and my work, I'm dedicated to delivering results efficiently - while I don't mind putting in extra hours when necessary, I usually complete tasks within normal working hours. Although I have management experience, my true passion lies in hands-on product development, where I explore and implement innovative, out-of-the-box solutions. I don't just code to specifications - I dive deep to understand processes, identify opportunities for optimization, and build systems that deliver real business value.
I offer greater value than the average developer through my proactivity, focus on maintainability, product vision and I bring insights that many senior devs miss. My code is clean, extensible, and designed to grow with your business.
