WORK EXPERIENCE

Full Stack Developer | IQ Technology
March 2026 – Present
B2B platforms for compliance-heavy businesses: inspections, audits, scheduling, contractor coordination and reporting.
Delivered 8+ operational modules to production within 6 months by building UI pages, reusable React components and REST APIs end-to-
end for a B2B compliance platform.
Reduced contractor scheduling conflicts by ~30% by developing an interactive scheduling calendar in React backed by REST endpoints with
server-side conflict validation.
Cut UI development time for new features by ~25% by creating a library of 20+ reusable components (forms, tables, filters, modals) shared
across the platform.
Enabled real-time operational dashboards and audit-trail reporting for multi-tenant B2B clients by integrating frontend features with REST
APIs and role-based access control.
Covered business logic, API endpoints and payment flows with PHPUnit unit, feature and integration tests, so changes could be released
without breaking existing features.
Shortened the feedback-to-release cycle to 1–2 weeks by independently driving features from client requirements to release in a phased-
rollout model.

Laravel queues and background jobs.
Saved the client team ~15 hours of manual work per week by designing and building a custom CRM in PHP (Laravel) and JavaScript for
users, roles, transactions, workflows and notifications.

Reduced deployment errors and release time by introducing Docker-based environments and Git-based CI/CD workflows with code review.
