Hi! I’m Shirleen, a backend PHP developer based in the UK with a strong focus on building clean, maintainable applications using Symfony and Laravel. I’m passionate about creating tools that genuinely help people—right now I’m working on a finance tracking SaaS project tailored for households, with features like expense tracking, savings goals, and budgeting.

With several years of experience in PHP, I’ve worked on API integrations, Dockerized dev environments, and AWS-based deployments. I'm constantly learning and currently levelling up my Laravel and JavaScript skills to round out my full-stack capabilities.

Outside of coding, I’m into dark fantasy novels, gaming, and long walks to clear my head and stay active.
