Okeke Chukwuebuka | Backend-Focused Web Developer

About Me

I build systems, not just pages.

I'm a backend-focused web developer with practical experience building web applications, APIs, databases, authentication systems, and application infrastructure.

My main development stack includes PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, SQL, Docker, Redis, and MySQL.

I also built a lightweight PHP framework from scratch, exploring the architecture behind dependency injection, routing, middleware, authentication, caching, queues, validation, service providers, and other core web application components.

My approach is centered around clean architecture, maintainability, security, database design, and solving practical problems with reliable systems.
