Hi, I'm Joshua 👋

Junior Backend Developer (PHP/Laravel) | Building clean, structured applications

I'm a backend-focused developer who enjoys building real, functional applications with PHP, Laravel, SQL, and clean project architecture.
During my course and exam projects, I discovered that backend is where I feel most at home — logic, structure, validation, authentication, and data flow are the parts I enjoy the most.

I also explore modern frontend tools like JavaScript, React, and TypeScript to understand how the frontend interacts with backend APIs.

🔧 Tech Stack

Backend:

  • PHP · Laravel · MySQL · PDO
  • Authentication · Validation · Sessions
  • File Handling · CSV Processing · MVC Concepts

Frontend:

  • JavaScript (API handling, async logic)
  • React + TypeScript
  • HTML · CSS · Bulma

Tools:

  • Git & GitHub
  • VS Code
  • Postman (learning)
  • Linux basics (learning)

📌 Featured Projects

Here are some of my main projects:

📚 Inclusive Inc — Full-Stack Exam Project (Laravel + MySQL)

Full media library with authentication, email verification, ratings, favorites, dynamic categories, and live search.

🔐 Members Only v2 — Refactored Authentication App

Improved structure, session-based authentication, profile editing, GUMP validation, secure password handling.

📄 Application Form v2 — Refactored Backend Form

Custom validation rules, file uploads, CSV storage, and clean project organization.

👥 Customers Overview — CSV Processing

Reads and processes CSV files, displays customer data, includes filtering and sorting.

🌍 Live City Search — JS API Project

Live search, autocomplete, API-based ZIP/coordinates retrieval, dynamic UI updates.

📖 Reading List (React + TypeScript)

Small React project to learn typed components, hooks, and localStorage.

🧠 What I'm Currently Focusing On

  • Strengthening backend skills
  • Practicing Laravel architecture and APIs
  • Learning Postman for API testing
  • Preparing my portfolio for backend job applications

✨ About Me

  • I enjoy writing clear, organized code.
  • I like refactoring projects to make them cleaner and more maintainable.
  • Backend logic gives me that “click” feeling — it just makes sense.
  • I’m actively preparing for my first backend developer role.
