Senior PHP Developer

Senior PHP &
eCommerce Backend Engineer

Specializing in Magento 2 development, custom integrations, and high-performance solutions built with PHP, Symfony, and Laravel.

About

I'm a Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce specialist with a decade of hands-on experience building complex e-commerce systems, enterprise integrations, and SaaS platforms. As an Adobe Commerce Marketplace Partner, I develop and publish production-grade extensions used by merchants worldwide.

My work spans the full stack of Magento development — from custom module architecture and REST API design to Knockout.js UI components, payment gateway integrations, and performance-critical database optimization. I focus on clean architecture, long-term maintainability, and measurable business impact.

Based in Sarai Alamgir, Pakistan, I collaborate with clients globally and have built everything from commission management systems and HR SaaS platforms to apparel catalog synchronizations and custom checkout flows.
