About
I’m Ebuka Francis Mbanusi — a backend developer focused on Laravel (PHP 8+), MySQL/Redis, Docker, and AWS. I build robust APIs, payment flows & webhooks, background workers, and CI/CD pipelines with strong security and clean maintainable code.
I also build mobile apps with React Native (Expo), connecting seamlessly to Laravel APIs for auth, wallet flows, notifications, and realtime updates.
Core Focus
- API design & docs (OpenAPI/Swagger)
- Auth (Sanctum/Passport), roles & permissions
- Payments & webhooks (Paystack/Flutterwave/Stripe)
- Queues, jobs, schedulers, notifications (Mail/FCM)
- Mobile apps (React Native + Expo)
