Full Stack Developer with 3+ years building enterprise SaaS platforms across HR, Payroll and ERP. Since September 2023 at Softrack Technologies, I have worked on a 30+ module multi-tenant HRMS used by enterprise clients in the pharmaceutical, manufacturing, food processing and travel sectors.

Core strengths: Laravel backends, REST APIs, database design and query optimisation (MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle), and owning features end-to-end in a product team.
