PHP/Laravel Backend Engineer focused on payment systems, integrations, queues, webhooks and transactional backend workflows.
I build backend systems where reliability matters: payment lifecycle, state transitions, idempotency, retries, timeouts, settlement logic, wallet integrations and API-based operations.

Settlane is a production-oriented portfolio project for crypto invoice and settlement infrastructure.
It demonstrates backend architecture for transaction-heavy products: hosted checkout, merchant/admin portals, invoice lifecycle, signed webhooks with retries, wallet allocation, balances, settlement ledger, forwarding flow, role-based access control and queue-based processing.
Key backend areas:
- Laravel API for merchant/admin operations
- Hosted invoice checkout flow
- Multi-asset payment logic
- BTC / LTC / DASH UTXO payment paths
- EVM / ERC-20 technical paths
- Invoice state machine
- Signed webhooks with retries
- Settlement ledger and forwarding records
- Merchant balances and fee handling
- API keys, roles and permissions
- Dashboard metrics and operational views
- PHPUnit tests for critical backend flows
Stack:
- Laravel 12
- Vue 3
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- Docker Sail
- Queue Jobs
- Webhooks
- UTXO / EVM / ERC-20 technical paths
- Local EVM demo with Anvil + MetaMask

The project is built as a near-production backend MVP. It focuses on architecture, payment lifecycle, integration reliability and operational backend flows.
I’m interested in backend roles related to:
- fintech
- banking
- payment infrastructure
- crypto exchanges
- iGaming
- internal operations systems
- integration-heavy backend products
