Senior Backend & Full-Stack Engineer 5+ years experience Laravel • PHP • Node.js SaaS • APIs • Automations

Owning production SaaS systems,
from backend architecture to product delivery.

I’m a backend-first full-stack engineer with 5+ years of production experience across Laravel/PHP, Node.js, JavaScript, Blade, and Livewire. I design APIs, service layers, queues, webhook-driven integrations, and performance-safe data pipelines, then connect them to practical product interfaces that teams and customers can actually use.

About

How I like to work.

I’m a backend-first full-stack engineer from Lahore, Pakistan. I care about correctness under load: safe retries, stable ordering, auditability, and clean boundaries between modules. On product work, I optimize for long-term maintainability, clear ownership boundaries, and software that survives real operational use.

Recent themes: production SaaS engineering, deterministic PDF ingestion/parsing pipelines, webhook-heavy integrations, multi-tenant job orchestration, AI-assisted workflows, and real-time Node.js systems (WebRTC + signaling).

What you get

  • Architecture that supports web clients, APIs, jobs, integrations, data, storage, and deployment.
  • Resilient background processing: throttling, retries, resumability.
  • Security-first integration patterns (no leaked keys).
  • Performance-aware DB work and caching.

Fastest response: Upwork, LinkedIn, or email.

If you need a backend-strong engineer who can own a product end-to-end (design, APIs, data model, integrations, product UI, deployment, iteration), send context and constraints. I’ll respond with a clear plan and milestones.
