Summary

Backend developer working in PHP/Laravel, with 3 years in fintech and medtech and a BSc in Software Engineering (IT Park University, EPAM school, 2026). I break complex systems down into scalable architecture, with a focus on code performance and its cost to run in the cloud. I use AI tools heavily in daily work.
