Backend Developer

Bangkok, ThailandOpen to Remote3+ Years Exp.

Enthusiastic and inquisitive Web Developer with over 3 years of hands-on experience and a relentless commitment to mastering the evolving technology landscape. Specialized in JavaScript (React, Vue, Node.js) and PHP (Laravel), I focus on designing robust, scalable architectures through the application of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to ensure future-proof solutions. My expertise extends deeply into complex API development, where I specialize in architecting high-performance, secure interfaces for multi-tenant systems and seamless third-party integrations. Beyond core development, I maintain a sharp focus on the AI ecosystem, continuously researching and integrating intelligent agents and LLM technologies to drive operational efficiency and automate workflows. By bridging the gap between clean, efficient code and modern AI capabilities, I strive to build high-impact systems that are both technically sophisticated and optimized for the future.

Game Topup Middleware API

Software Engineer | HeyGames • Architected a scalable Laravel-based middleware API to bridge multiple merchants with diverse game top-up providers using a modular adapter pattern, significantly reducing integration time for new providers. • Engineered a resilient transaction lifecycle by implementing balance reservation and database locking mechanisms to ensure concurrency safety and data integrity during high-volume periods. • Optimized high-concurrency order execution via Redis and Laravel Horizon, managing asynchronous processing, intelligent retry logic, and automated merchant callbacks. • Strengthened platform security by designing a multi-layered request flow featuring JWT authentication, IP whitelisting, and granular rate limiting. • Developed a sophisticated status reconciliation engine using a hybrid of webhooks and scheduled polling to maintain 100% synchronization between providers and merchants. • Implemented centralized logging and error classification to automatically distinguish between user errors and provider-side failures, enabling automated failover and smarter retry strategies. • Managed dynamic, multi-currency pricing engines and AWS S3-backed media handling to support merchant-specific denominations and localized digital assets.
