01 — Profile

Engineer at the seam
of code & agents.

I build scalable web applications across PHP / Laravel and Vue / Nuxt 3 — modernising legacy codebases, designing OpenAPI-first systems, and shipping role-based access controls without breaking production.

Recent work pairs classical full-stack engineering with AI-native workflows: coding agents, autogenerated SDKs, contract-first APIs that double as machine-readable specs, and prompt-aware code review.

Equally comfortable on contract or permanent engagements, in agile teams of two or twenty. I move fast on greenfield work and methodically on rescue jobs — the codebases nobody else wants to touch.

Currently shipping at Sonin App Development, building an enterprise compliance platform on a Laravel + Nuxt 3 monorepo with full RBAC and SSR-safe frontends.
