🚀 Backend Developer | ☁️ Cloud & DevOps Enthusiast | 💼 PHP & Java Focus
I'm a backend-focused software engineer with hands-on experience building, maintaining, and scaling real-world applications using PHP (Laravel) and Java (Spring Boot). I’ve contributed to production environments in startup and internship settings, working on legacy codebases, writing APIs, and improving system performance under real constraints.
Alongside backend development, I’ve expanded into DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure, especially within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ecosystem—configuring load balancers, automating deployments, and implementing CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Docker.
