What I build

The part of the product your customers never see: REST APIs, authentication and permissions, background work, and the data layer underneath. At Champions I built Node.js Express services for the LMS; at SOFTA and IT PLUS I built PHP backends in Laravel, CodeIgniter and native MVC.

I design APIs to be integrated against by someone who is not me. Agreed endpoints, predictable error shapes, and contracts documented before either side is built, so client and server teams proceed in parallel.

How I work

Business rules stay separate from framework plumbing, which keeps the system testable and turns swapping a provider into a contained change. Every endpoint ships with validation at the boundary, authorisation enforced server-side, and logging you can genuinely debug from.

What you get

• A documented API surface your web and mobile teams can build against.
• Database schemas with real constraints and indexes, tuned against the queries you run.
• Digital Authentication flows with server-side sessions and permission checks on the resources themselves.
• Integrations handled end to end with retries and idempotent handling where it matters.

The stack

Node.js with Express.js, PHP with Laravel or CodeIgniter, JavaScript throughout, MySQL as the primary store, REST APIs as the contract.

A good fit if

Your frontend is blocked on a backend nobody owns, your API grew organically and can no longer be changed safely, or you are starting a product and want the contract right before teams build on top of it.
