Experience

Softmation Mar 2026 – Present

Project: RTC LMS Marketplace — Backend Developer

  • Engineered core foundational architecture utilizing Laravel 12 and PHP 8.3 under a clean Thin Controller/Fat Service pattern to minimize technical debt and elevate system scalability.
  • Modeled core data structures by executing complete user identity migrations, defining polymorphic user profile schemas, and setting up strict domain layer state machines using PHP Enums (PendingApproval, Approved, Suspended).
  • Built a secure API-first authentication engine utilizing Laravel Sanctum to handle public learner registration, state-aware credential login, profile retrieval, password reset cycles, and localized verification mechanisms.
  • Designed a high-security KYC compliance system enforcing sensitive document upload mechanics without exposing raw file paths, restricting data interaction entirely to secure metadata resources.
  • Implemented admin KYC state transitions and download policies alongside an event-driven side-effect framework using queued Listeners, Notifications, and Mailables to handle production-scale user workflows.
  • Constructed a robust B2B Organization module supporting platform administrative CRUD operations, billing context tracking, lifecycle approvals, and isolated manager data access scopes.

Engineering Production

TalentBridge — AI Job Seeker Ecosystem
Laravel 13PHP 8.3DockerOpenAI
  • Architected a decoupled multi-app portal explicitly engineered for job seekers, extracting core business logic into a shared, version-controlled private Composer package to eliminate duplicate code paradigms and achieve strict data synchronization across frontends.
  • Integrated automated OpenAI pipelines utilizing low-latency server streams to process uploaded profiles, extract unstructured text formats, compute dynamic candidate compatibility indices, and render actionable analytical scores.
  • Engineered secure file processing runtimes using poppler-utils (pdftotext) for binary data extractions, connecting the ingestion mechanics directly to cloud-based, high-availability AWS S3-compatible bucket infrastructures.
  • Orchestrated a containerized runtime environment utilizing Docker and FrankenPHP, capturing modern Caddy server performance benefits including high concurrency handling, worker-mode script execution, and built-in HTTPS compression.
BiblioHub — Digital Library Platform
JavaSpring BootSpring SecurityMySQL
  • Engineered a robust core services layer utilizing Spring Boot and Spring Data JPA to manage multi-entity book catalogs, complex author relationships, and categorical inventory indexing structures.
  • Implemented full transactional reliability across the platform with customized database exception handler mappers and secure record validations using the Hibernate Validator engine.
  • Constructed a declarative access layout using Spring Security to strictly enforce role access permissions across public user navigation interfaces and privileged content modification controllers.
Taskflow — Secure Task Management Engine
Java 21Spring BootPostgreSQLJWT
  • Built an enterprise-grade security mesh leveraging Spring Security filter chains, custom stateful JSON Web Token (JWT) verification middlewares, cryptographic password hashing, and anti-forgery configurations.
  • Designed a relational storage abstraction layer inside PostgreSQL with strict multi-user table isolation logic, implementing secure state synchronization by delivering sensitive authorization payloads exclusively via HttpOnly cookies.
  • Developed robust transactional RESTful APIs adhering to pure REST conventions, enforcing rigid request validation schemas, unified global exception mapping, and predictable JSON response structures.
Start With Angular — Dashboard Archetype
AngularTypeScriptTailwind CSS
  • Constructed a modular single-page interface architecture built on strongly-typed TypeScript contracts, feature-scoped modules, standalone component bindings, and dynamic runtime dependency injection engines.
  • Engineered state-aware client routing controls alongside complex reactive form groups that feature real-time multi-field validation criteria, asynchronous error evaluation, and client-side memory caching structures.
  • Designed a fully responsive administrative dashboard layout utilizing customized Tailwind CSS utility grids, fluid interaction matrices, and isolated, performance-tuned UI presentation elements.
