Lead Laravel Developer
A Laravel-based document publishing platform that converts uploaded or API-imported PDF documents into online viewer files and shareable document links for clients. The platform was built around a custom automated PDF-processing workflow. Instead of manually preparing static viewer files, the system imports documents, analyzes them, generates the required viewer configuration and assets, manages clients/users/documents, and provides stable public links for end users.
- Designed and built a Laravel-based document publishing platform used by 50+ active clients with 1,000+ active documents.
- Reverse-engineered an existing static PDF viewer file/configuration process and rebuilt it as an automated Laravel-friendly workflow.
- Implemented document import flows through both API integration and manual uploads.
- Built processing logic to analyze uploaded PDFs and generate the required viewer files, assets, and configuration automatically.
- Created management interfaces for clients, users, documents, imports, and shareable document links.
- Reduced manual preparation work, improved reliability, and made document publishing easier to manage at scale.
- Continue to maintain and improve the platform as a stable production system.
Owner / Lead Full-Stack Developer
A custom Laravel/Vue business automation platform for a field-service operation seeking better visibility, synchronization, validation, and control over work orders, survey data, and operational processes. Key features include work order and survey processing, API synchronization, AI-assisted validation, manual review flows, logging, scheduled jobs, dashboard feedback, and email reporting.






- Led the design and development of a custom Laravel/Vue business automation platform for operational workflows around work orders, surveys, synchronization flows, dashboards, validation, logging, and email feedback.
- Worked directly with the client to understand the real business process, starting with a clear operational UI and then refining the automation logic step by step as requirements became visible.
- Built automated processing flows for work orders and survey data, including scheduled jobs, manual review states, status feedback, detailed logging, and safe retry/debug workflows.
- Implemented API integrations between external field-service/CRM systems, transforming and synchronizing operational data while keeping the process visible and controllable for users.
- Added AI-assisted validation for survey data, including prompt preparation, response handling, status indicators, edge-case handling, and user-facing feedback.
- Improved reliability and maintainability through structured Laravel actions/services, queue/scheduler usage, clear dashboard states, activity logging, testing, and CI/CD workflows.
Full-Stack Software Engineer
An international agritech/IoT platform for greenhouse growers that processes high-volume sensor data from crop environments, turning it into actionable insights to monitor and optimize growing conditions. The platform collected measurements from specialized sensor hardware installed at customer locations, stored time-series data, and made that data available through dashboards, charts, and operational tools.
- Extended and maintained an existing Laravel/Vue platform used to process and visualize high-volume greenhouse sensor data.
- Worked on backend and frontend functionality around measurement data, dashboards, operational workflows, and user-facing tools for growers.
- Worked with PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB data structures for storing and querying time-series measurements from specialized sensor hardware.
- Improved existing features, fixed issues, and helped keep a large live application stable while new functionality was added.
- Supported practical tooling around sensor data so measurement streams could be transformed into useful insights for end users.
- Improved GitLab CI/CD workflows by reducing pipeline duration, introducing more parallel jobs, and improving automated testing feedback.
- Made code coverage and quality signals more visible inside merge requests, helping the team review changes with better context.
- Gained hands-on experience with data-heavy Laravel/Vue applications, agritech/IoT workflows, CI/CD optimization, and software that supports real operational decisions.
Software Engineer
A collection of Laravel/PHP applications, web services, CI/CD workflows, and infrastructure improvements for a print and publishing company. The work included maintaining and improving existing business applications, modernizing development and deployment workflows, containerizing web services, and building a time-sensitive schoolbook ordering webshop that integrated directly with internal production systems.
- Developed and maintained Laravel/PHP applications, internal tools, and web services supporting print and publishing workflows.
- Improved GitLab CI/CD workflows, automated testing, and deployment pipelines, enhancing overall development reliability.
- Containerized web services with Docker and helped prepare them for Docker Swarm or Kubernetes environments.
- Built a school book ordering webshop under a tight deadline, enabling students to select the correct book package for their class, enter their details, and pay via iDEAL.
- Integrated the webshop with internal APIs so paid orders were pushed directly into the production system.
- Delivered the webshop on time, handling hundreds of simultaneous student orders without failures.
- Contributed to broader technical modernization efforts addressing outdated internal systems, deployment workflows, maintainability, and infrastructure quality.
