A Laravel artisan embodying the spirit of craftsmanship in every line of code.

Proficient in Laravel/PHP with a deep understanding of software design patterns. Focus on Developer experience (DX) through creating clean, documented, and tested code. Capable of designing scalable and secure systems. Experience in cloud/serverless architecture. Able to mentor and guide junior-mid engineers.

I have developed various web applications and API backend systems, including:

  1. the best-in-the-market community software with Joomla CMS extension.
  2. curated articles and news aggregators from healthcare professionals for pharmaceutical companies and healthcare institutions worldwide.
  3. an e-commerce platform collaborated with more than 50 KOL and influencers.
  4. and an award-winning learning platform for 10,000 Malaysian schools that made teaching and learning easy for teachers and students.

Preferably to be a technical leader than a people manager. I am most productive as an individual contributor (IC) to collaborate with other development team members and create high-quality software solutions that meet the needs of the company's clients and end-users while also adhering to industry best practices and standards.
