Location: UK (Flexible on your timezone)
Relocation: No
Languages\Tech:
* PHP + Laravel + PHPUnit/Pest
* Javascript
* Typescript
* Python
Backend: Laravel, Node
Frontend: React , Vue , Livewire
Email: PTGPSoftware@outlook.com
Very competitive pricing available for fast turnaround PHP / JS or Node projects. If you are looking to develop a new project, clean up/refactor an existing one or something else/different then please get in touch. Just as happy to work on legacy/vanilla PHP applications as Laravel apps, or to port from one to the other (or give opinions on feasibility of that for your project).
I like to work in a methodical way, typically writing simple tests for new functionality as I go, and also isolating any bugs/likely bug surface area. At the same time I also get satisfaction from "shipping". So it's important to me to achieve a harmonious balance between these, so expect this to be an area of focus in terms of communication. My technical interests are anything from simple CRUD/REST APIs through to integration of more advanced features, which could be real time application (Pusher/Websocket, possibly Reverb when this is released) or integration with ML models and pipelines.

I’m a generalist engineer with past experience including full-stack engineering at a YC legal-tech startup and full-stack + cloud infra at an NYC quant fund. I also have entrepreneurship experience that gives me an understanding of the end-to-end product development process at early stage startups.
My recent projects include building a realtime voice-based AI personal assistant—one that actively calls you on the phone, rather than passively waiting for you to interact with it, as well as a philanthropic project in the AI ed-tech space.
I’m skilled at taking initiative on projects and synthesizing requirements from multiple stakeholders into meaningful technical solutions. I’m passionate about functional programming, building reliable and scalable distributed systems, and optimizing developer experience. I also speak 4 languages (English, Sinhala, Mandarin Chinese, and Thai).
