- Utilize AI development tools such as Cursor, Windsurf, or GitHub Copilot to streamline code generation, debugging, and refactoring, boosting productivity and code quality.
- Deploy and manage applications on AWS or similar cloud services (e.g., Azure, GCP), utilizing native capabilities like auto-scaling groups, load balancers, IAM roles, and security groups to ensure scalability, high availability, and robust security.
- Collaborate with QA, DevOps, and product teams to conduct code reviews, implement CI/CD pipelines, and troubleshoot production issues.
- Mentor junior developers, sharing best practices in full-stack PHP development and cloud-native architectures.

- Expertise in REST API development, covering HTTP methods, status codes,



and secure request/response handling.
- Advanced skills in HTML for semantic markup, forms, and structured page layouts.
- Proven ability to write optimized MySQL queries (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, joins) with a focus on performance tuning.
- Demonstrated experience deploying PHP/Laravel applications to AWS or equivalent clouds, including leveraging services for scaling (e.g., EC2 Auto Scaling, RDS) and security (e.g., VPC, WAF).
- Hands-on familiarity with AI-assisted development tools like Cursor, Windsurf, or GitHub Copilot to enhance coding efficiency.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, with a track record of delivering scalable, secure applications in agile environments.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team setting.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with additional frameworks like Vue.js or React for enhanced front-end development.
- Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) for cloud deployments.
- Contributions to open-source projects or a portfolio showcasing full-stack PHP applications.
- Certifications in AWS (e.g., AWS Certified Developer) or related cloud platforms.
