About Daniel

Backend Software Engineer specializing in Laravel and PHP

I build clean, maintainable systems, from custom web applications to complex migration pipelines.


With 4+ years of professional experience at a managed WordPress hosting platform serving thousands of customers across Europe, I've worked across the full backend stack: designing service architectures, optimizing complex SQL queries, building internal tooling, and leading large-scale data migrations end-to-end.


I'm comfortable with legacy codebases, tight deadlines, and projects that require more than just writing new code. I take ownership, communicate clearly, and deliver without drama.

Based in Granada, Spain, and working remotely across Europe.
