Senior Laravel Developer

Caitlyn Jules Tayco (CJ)

Senior Laravel engineer building scalable web platforms — and leading the teams behind them.

Senior Laravel engineer with 6+ years on production platforms across accounting software, banking microservices, and subscription commerce.

Most recently led a team at Vyde Tax and Accounting, where I designed the Banking MSA microservice now used across every Vyde product, and ran a multi-phase removal of legacy third-party integrations.

Open to senior engineering and tech-lead roles where I can own systems end-to-end.
