Lead Full Stack Developer
Zamboanga del Sur
Senior full-stack developer specializing in Laravel and PHP. For the past four years I've built and led delivery on the customer-facing portal and internal admin systems for an Australian telecom — working remotely from the Philippines. My work sits where application code meets infrastructure. I own the Laravel portal and a Filament-based admin panel used daily by internal teams, migrated deployments from TeamCity to GitLab CI/CD with a self-hosted runner, tuned MariaDB for JSON-heavy schemas using generated column indexing, and run background processing through Laravel Horizon. Before VOCPhone I spent three years at Dreame.rs IT Solutions, moving from backend developer to technical lead. I still write code every day — the lead and project management responsibilities I've picked up sit on top of hands-on engineering, not instead of it.
