15+ years building Laravel APIs, payment-integrated e-commerce, and the databases underneath. I lead small teams, ship things that don't melt under load, and write code the next person can read on day one.
I build the parts of the internet that talk to databases. Quietly, for fifteen years, mostly in Laravel.
I'm a senior backend developer based in Amman. I've shipped 100+ freelance projects and led delivery on nine flagship platforms across e-commerce, education, fintech, and AI matching. Most of them are still running. A few have been running for a decade.
The work I do best is the unglamorous middle layer: REST APIs, payment integrations, schema design, the kind of code that doesn't get written about but holds the whole product up. I write it carefully because someone else will read it later, and that someone is sometimes me.
I take a small number of clients per year so I can stay hands-on. If your team needs a senior who can drive a project from kickoff through launch without theatrics, that's the version of me you want.

What I can actually do, grouped by where it lives in the stack.
No skill bars. Bars imply you can be 70% good at Laravel, which isn't a thing. Either I've shipped it in production for years or I haven't put it on the list.
Where I spend most of my day.
Schema first; queries that don't melt at scale.
I can drive a feature from API to UI when needed.
The non-code part that decides whether a project ships.
Four ways to work together. Pick the one that maps to where you are.
Laravel/PHP services, REST APIs, payment integrations, and the database schema underneath. The thing I do best.
Full-stack e-commerce: catalog, custom-product configuration, multi-city fulfillment, payments, admin. Six platforms shipped to date.
Stand up a team, plan a sprint, review architecture, untangle a system that's drifted. I've led delivery on every project listed here.
I take on a small number of multi-month engagements per year. Most of my client relationships are measured in years, not weeks.
A few sentences is plenty. I read every message myself and reply within a day. No funnel, no sales call, no scheduling tool.
