I'm a full-stack PHP developer with 10+ years of professional experience, specializing in Laravel, Symfony, and WordPress on the backend—paired with Vue.js and Tailwind CSS on the frontend to deliver clean, modern, and scalable applications. Throughout my career, I've built and maintained a wide range of systems including custom web apps, CMS-driven sites, and e-commerce platforms. My experience spans across: ✅ Laravel (including Filament, Nova, Queues, API development) ✅ Symfony (Doctrine ORM, modular architecture) ✅ WordPress (custom plugins, theme development, REST API) ✅ Shopware, CodeIgniter, Concrete5, Magento ✅ Frontend with Vue.js and Tailwind CSS ✅ MySQL/PostgreSQL, Git, Docker, Linux servers ✅ API integration (REST/SOAP, Sabre, internal services) I started my career in IT support, but through dedication and continuous learning, I transitioned into a full-time developer—working on high-traffic, business-critical platforms. After a short break from Upwork due to personal commitments, I'm now back and fully available for new long-term or short-term projects. I take pride in writing clean code, communicating clearly, and delivering results that align with business goals. 📅 Open to interviews, test tasks, or code reviews—let's build something great together.

Hi, I'm Aaron, a Laravel and PHP developer specializing in Vue.js, React.js, Next.js and Flutter. I build and improve web and mobile applications. I work on both the backend and frontend, so you don't need to coordinate between multiple people. I handle REST APIs, MySQL, and Firebase whatever the project needs. When I take on a project, I ask the right questions upfront so I understand what you actually need, not just what was written in the brief. I give regular updates so you're never left wondering where things are, and I handle edge cases on my own without needing to be told. If you need someone to take over an existing app or build something new, feel free to reach out.

With over 15 years of experience in full-stack development, DevOps, cloud engineering, and AI automation, I help teams design, build, and ship reliable software systems that are scalable, maintainable, and production-ready. My background bridges application development, infrastructure, CI/CD, cloud architecture, and AI-powered automation. I’ve worked on everything from legacy system modernization and monolithic applications to microservices, serverless backends, event-driven systems, payment integrations, and cloud-native deployments. I’m comfortable taking ownership across the full delivery lifecycle — from understanding business requirements and designing the architecture, to writing clean code, building pipelines, deploying to cloud environments, and supporting production systems. What I Bring to the Table AI & Automation I have hands-on experience integrating AI and LLM-based workflows into real applications and internal tools. This includes building backend services, automation pipelines, data-processing flows, and practical AI-assisted workflows that reduce manual effort and improve delivery speed. I’m especially interested in using AI as a productivity multiplier — combining deterministic engineering with AI assistance, while keeping humans in the loop for validation and quality control. DevOps & Cloud Engineering I have strong experience with AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code. I’ve worked with AWS services such as Lambda, ECS, EKS, S3, CloudFormation/SAM, and cloud deployment pipelines. I’ve also designed and maintained CI/CD workflows using tools like GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, and CodePipeline, including build automation, deployment pipelines, release packaging, environment-based deployments, and production-safe delivery practices. Full-Stack Development I build robust backend systems and APIs using .NET Core, Node.js/TypeScript, Python, and PHP/Laravel, with experience across REST APIs, microservices, background jobs, integrations, and database-driven applications. On the frontend, I’ve worked with modern frameworks such as React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, and Tailwind, building practical, maintainable user interfaces that connect cleanly with backend systems. I also have experience with relational and NoSQL databases including PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, and MongoDB. Integrations & System Design A big part of my recent work involves designing and implementing complex third-party integrations, including payment providers, webhook systems, reconciliation flows, refund/void logic, and secure request validation. I’m comfortable working through unclear vendor documentation, debugging sandbox inconsistencies, validating API behavior, and turning messy integration requirements into clean, modular backend architecture. Engineering Practices & Leadership I value clean code, maintainable architecture, automated testing, code reviews, and clear communication. I’ve worked in Agile teams, collaborated with cross-functional stakeholders, mentored developers, and handled both implementation and technical decision-making. I’m also experienced in modernizing legacy systems, improving deployment reliability, and helping teams move from manual or fragile processes toward repeatable, automated workflows.
