Selected work
Engineered the complete high-concurrency Laravel backend architecture for a live US local city listings & events guide. Designed GraphQL APIs (Nuwave Lighthouse), real-time WebSockets (Laravel Reverb), automated Stripe subscriptions, Twilio SMS verification, and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
Architected the complete automated data extraction pipeline, GraphQL API engine, and subscription monetization backend for Auction Retriever (auctionretriever.com). The platform crawls and aggregates thousands of foreclosed, tax deed, land, and bank-owned real estate auction listings from across the United States (Bid4Assets, RealtyBid, county boards), unifying them into a high-speed searchable investor dashboard with automated weekly digests.
Architected an enterprise-scale Booking.com-style multi-tenant accommodation ecosystem operating across three dedicated portals: the guest-facing booking engine (mybergo.com), a dedicated Property Host Operations Hub for hotel owners to manage rooms & pricing, and a Central Governance Dashboard for super admins. Built for high availability, zero-downtime CI/CD, and sub-second booking transaction speed.
