Summary
Experienced Web Developer and Database Administrator with a proven track record of delivering high-performance, scalable web solutions. Specializing in PHP-based frameworks and database management, I focus on creating clean, maintainable, and future-proof code architectures tailored to business needs. My passion for technology drives me to continually explore the latest advancements, from containerization with Docker to orchestrating applications with Kubernetes (K8s), cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered solutions.
With over a decade of experience across diverse industries—including e-commerce, SaaS, and enterprise-level systems—I bring a balance of technical depth and a strong work ethic to every project. My roles at IONOS by 1&1, Goodiebox, Smartshore B.V., SmartData Enterprises, and TCYonline.com have not only sharpened my technical skills but also enriched my understanding of the broader tech landscape. I work extensively with modern cloud platforms like Supabase, Vercel, and Railway, while integrating AI/ML capabilities using TensorFlow, OpenAI APIs, and LangChain to build intelligent, scalable applications.
Driven by a passion for innovation, I am committed to delivering solutions that align with modern development practices while meeting the evolving demands of today's digital ecosystem. Whether it's building microservices, implementing AI-powered features, optimizing databases, leveraging serverless architectures, or improving development workflows, I prioritize quality, collaboration, and results.
