Open to remote full-time roles

I build & lead
web products.

I’m Joshua Karlo Claudio, a full-stack developer with 9 years in PHP and JavaScript — from Laravel APIs to Vue, Nuxt and React front ends. I’ve led small teams, migrated apps to modern stacks, and shipped a RAG-based AI feature to production.

01 / About

Senior engineer, team lead when it counts.

I’ve spent nine years building web applications, mostly with Laravel and Vue. I started as a part-time programmer and grew into senior and lead roles: planning sprints, grooming backlogs, reviewing code and shipping releases alongside product managers.

I’m comfortable across the stack — APIs, front ends, infrastructure on AWS and Laravel Forge/Vapor, and Flutter for mobile. Lately that includes AI: a retrieval-augmented feature that answers questions from a team’s own documents.

02 / Experience

Nine years, five teams, a lot of shipping.

03 / Highlights

Work I’m proud of.

  • Migration

    Laravel + Inertia → Laravel API + Nuxt 4

    Split a monolith into an API and a modern Nuxt front end at GoTeam, without stopping feature work.

  • AI

    A RAG feature in production

    Answers questions from a workspace's own documents, with sources. Node.js services, Typesense search.

  • Leadership

    From developer to team lead

    Delegation, code reviews, sprint planning and backlog grooming — plus releases with product managers.

  • Quality

    Tests that test the tests

    Unit, feature and integration suites in Pest and PHPUnit, with mutation testing to prove they catch bugs.
