β‘οΈ Software Engineer | Miami, FL
I'm a Software Engineer passionate about crafting solid backend architectures in Laravel and building dynamic, modern interfaces with Vue.js.
I specialize in scalable APIs, clean service layers, full test coverage, and reactive frontends β turning complex business requirements into seamless digital experiences.
I love owning the full cycle of development β from planning database schemas and APIs to implementing clean, reactive UIs.
- β Backend: Authentication, API's, authorization (Roles/Policies), Eloquent ORM, data integrity
- β Frontend: Dynamic dashboards, filters, modals, real-time updates with Vue
- β API: RESTful endpoints with Swagger docs, Sanctum-authenticated SPAs
- β Integration: Smooth frontend/backend sync using Laravel
- β Testing: End-to-end test strategy (unit, feature, edge case, UI logic)
