Software Engineer | Cloud Infrastructure Specialist

Hussein Abdi

SUMMARY

I'm a Full-Stack Software Engineer with over 4 years of experience building scalable, maintainable, and production-grade applications across various industries. While I specialize in Laravel for backend development, I also work fluently with a wide range of modern frameworks and tools across the stack.

My frontend expertise includes React, Inertia.js, and TypeScript, enabling me to build responsive, intuitive user interfaces. On the backend, I've delivered secure and high-performance solutions using Laravel, Node.js, and Express. I also have hands-on experience with REST APIs, GraphQL, and database optimization for both MySQL and PostgreSQL.

I regularly manage deployment, infrastructure, and scaling using tools like Docker, Laravel Forge, DigitalOcean, and Cloudflare. I'm deeply familiar with CI/CD workflows and performance monitoring.

I'm passionate about creating software that blends clean backend logic with AI-powered features, real-time interactivity, and a seamless user experience. This applies across SaaS platforms, internal business tools, and service-oriented systems.
