ABOUT ME
A Senior Software Developer with over ten years of experience
A Senior Software Developer with over ten years of experience
Hi there!
I'm Edward, a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience building robust, scalable, and secure web and mobile applications.
I specialize in full-stack development with a strong focus on PHP (Laravel, Yii2, CodeIgniter), JavaScript (Vue.js, React, React Native), and WordPress (custom plugins and themes). I also have solid experience with Python,, API development, and DevOps tooling.
On the cloud side, I’m well-versed in AWS, think EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, CloudFront and have hands-on experience with Kubernetes and Docker for containerized deployments. I’ve designed and deployed infrastructure that scales and survives traffic spikes.
What sets me apart? I don't just build, I optimize, secure, and scale. From tuning high-performance databases to implementing idempotent APIs and running secure CI/CD pipelines, I bring both engineering depth and business awareness to every project.
I'm also skilled in penetration testing and application security, so your apps are not just fast, they’re safe.
Looking for someone who can take your product from idea to scale or make your current infrastructure bulletproof?
Let’s talk.
