Laravel Developer | Full-Stack Engineer | System Architect

I’m a seasoned Laravel developer with a passion for crafting scalable, real-world web platforms. I specialize in building modern applications using Laravel, Vue.js, and Flutter, often deploying them on self-managed Azure servers with full DevOps control.
From centralized CMSs to invoicing systems, CRM integrations, social platforms, and after-sales services, I turn complex needs into efficient solutions. My background spans code, design, infrastructure, and creative direction.
