Summary

Backend engineer with 7+ years across product and freelance work, specializing in PHP/Laravel systems that handle real money and real concurrency. In my current role, independently diagnosed and fixed a complex concurrency bug on a shared, multi-tenant platform — on the side, solo-designed and shipped two production platforms: a theater ticketing system with concurrency-safe seat-hold checkout, and a tournament platform with its own wallet/settlement ledger. Also directed and reviewed an AI-assisted build (Claude Code) of a three-service face-recognition attendance system — a public GitHub project, not just a claimed skill. Comfortable owning a system end-to-end: architecture, database design, payment/third-party integrations, testing, and deployment.

Experience

Software Developer — QTech Software Pvt. Ltd. (Travel ERP) 2024 – Present
  • Maintain and extend a shared, multi-tenant B2B platform — resolving production issues without regressing other clients on the same codebase
  • Diagnosed and fixed a complex concurrency bug affecting a core account/rewards feature, using a temporary resource-hold pattern to prevent double-processing under simultaneous requests
  • Integrated a third-party payment gateway directly into a core transaction flow
  • Built internal automation to replace manual data-reconciliation work between systems
Full Stack Developer — Mirackle Solutions 2018 – 2024
  • Progressed from frontend development (HTML/CSS/JS, years 1–2) to PHP + WordPress theme development (years 3–4) to blended Laravel/full-stack ownership of client projects (years 5–6)
  • Delivered a high volume of small-to-medium client projects across 6 years — breadth across many engagements rather than one large system
  • Worked directly with India-based clients — gathered requirements and delivered without a PM/BA layer in between
