## FAQ

### What kind of projects do you take on?

Full-stack products: Laravel SaaS, REST APIs, microservices, ATS platforms, and GenAI integrations. I work best on systems that need solid architecture and long-term maintainability.

### Do you work with frontend teams?

Yes. I regularly collaborate with React and Vue teams — defining API contracts, integration patterns, and shipping features end-to-end.

### Are you available for full-time or contract work?

I am open to both full-time roles and well-scoped contract engagements. Reach out with your timeline and stack — I typically respond within 24 hours.

### How do you approach system design?

Start with requirements and non-functional needs (scale, security, latency), sketch boundaries and data flow, choose boring technology where possible, and document decisions so the team can move fast.
