Background

About Paul Pressler

I’m a full-stack software engineer with over 6 years of professional experience building scalable web applications, APIs, and SaaS platforms in startup and fast-growing environments. At Battleface, an insurtech startup, I design and develop backend microservices using PHP (Laravel) and Eloquent ORM with MySQL, Postgres, and MongoDB, and build modern front-end micro-apps using Angular 19 and Bootstrap. I integrate third-party APIs such as Stripe, Talkdesk, and Pusher to power secure transactions, customer communications, and real-time experiences. Having worked in agile startup teams, I’m comfortable wearing multiple hats, collaborating across product, QA, design, and DevOps to translate business goals into reliable and maintainable code. While my main stack is Laravel and Angular, I’m confident in my ability to quickly adapt to new frameworks and technologies. I’m always looking to expand my knowledge, leveraging my strong foundation in MVC architecture, ORM design patterns, and RESTful API development. I take pride in continuously learning, studying new technologies, and applying them directly to improve system performance, maintainability, and user experience.
