I’m Aro Micheal, a Full-Stack Developer and aspiring Mechanical Engineer with 9+ years of experience in backend development, frontend engineering, and mobile app development. I specialize in PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, Flutter, Laravel, MySQL, Docker, Linux, APIs, and cloud-based infrastructure.
I’ve delivered scalable, high-performance applications for e-commerce, B2C platforms, and enterprise software, including NG-Movies (200K+ downloads, 67K active users), Gaststelle (multi-branch online ordering system), and Nofi72 (real-estate marketplace). My expertise covers payment gateway integration (Stripe, PayPal), OAuth2 authentication, search engine integration (Elasticsearch, Solr, OpenSearch), machine learning, and DevOps automation.
Professionally, I’ve led end-to-end product development from concept to deployment, implemented responsive UI/UX, optimized databases and server performance, and contributed to open-source projects used worldwide.
I’m seeking opportunities where I can apply my software engineering, system architecture, and technical leadership skills to build innovative, scalable solutions.
