Senior backend engineer, 10+ years, working remotely with US teams since 2021. Looking for part-time contract work (10–20 h/week).

What I'm good at: landing in an unfamiliar codebase and owning it end to end. - Payments: checkout, 3DS, subscriptions. Brought card approval rates back above 90% at a global e-commerce company. - Legacy rescue: rebuilt a legacy PHP SaaS to full parity on a modern TypeScript stack in ~5 weeks; migrated PHP 5.6 to PHP 8/Laravel 9 with ~50% faster checkout. - MVPs: built and run alveia.app, an invoicing SaaS with paying customers.
