Backend engineer who ships production systems — and leads the team that builds them.

Results-driven Backend Developer with 5+ years of experience in PHP and Laravel, currently leading a development team at Excent Solutions.

I specialise in building clean, secure, and scalable REST APIs and complete admin panels for web and mobile applications across healthcare, on-demand services, logistics, and e-commerce. I have delivered production systems live on Google Play and the web, with third-party integrations including Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal, Firebase, WebSockets, Twilio, and JotForm.

I care about code quality, testing, smooth deployments and clear cross-team coordination — and I use AI-assisted tooling like Claude Code to ship faster without cutting corners.
