I’m comfortable working with existing systems and unfamiliar codebases, not just starting projects from scratch.
Whether you need to fix a production issue, add a new module, integrate an external API, optimize a slow database query, migrate legacy PHP to Laravel, or maintain an existing SaaS application, I focus on understanding the existing architecture first and making changes safely.
