Why I'm a good match

10 years of Laravel. From building SaaS products from scratch as a sole developer, through mid-size teams, to engineering high-scale systems at a large enterprise. I'm comfortable working in teams of different sizes and competencies, and I understand both architectural decisions and product delivery.

I take features from idea to production: backend, frontend, tests, deployment. No handoffs needed.

I work remotely from Europe, Slovakia (UTC+1), within your preferred timezone range, and I'm used to delivering on time.

From the job description I got a sense of what this role involves: building dashboards, optimization reports, onboarding tools. I don't have your real data, but based on what I could find on Tratta.io, I put together a sample dashboard to show roughly what I think it could look like. The data is mocked, the implementation is real.
