Hello there!
I'm George—a tech support engineer who enjoys tinkering with servers, digging into code, and always learning something new.

In my first job, I was a material engineer.

Back then, I had some experience building WordPress sites. I even ran my own book review blog, where I shared the best books I’d read. On weekends, I’d tinker with the site, always trying to make it better.

At the time, I assumed materials engineering would be my long-term path—so IT wasn’t really in the picture.

But things changed. One of my early responsibilities involved data entry for a warehouse system, and I started wondering how those systems actually worked.

I picked up O’Reilly’s Hands-On SQLite and started experimenting with databases. That, combined with my WordPress tinkering, slowly turned into a strong pull toward tech.

A friend of mine was working at a software company called Schoox. He recommended me, and a couple of months later, I joined as a Support Engineer II for their SaaS e-learning platform.

By then, I could write more than just basic queries—I actually enjoyed digging into the database to troubleshoot issues or generate reports. With some PHP knowledge under my belt, I eventually moved to the “Tasks” team as a Software Engineer.

That team focused on importing large datasets like users and courses, writing custom scripts, and building internal tools—mostly dealing with record creation and updates through a custom control panel.

Those approximately four years at Schoox gave me most of the skills I rely on today. I was ready for the next challenge, and Laravel’s support team offered a great opportunity to dive deeper into PHP, infrastructure, and real-world debugging.

Outside of work, I’d been playing around with Linux: spinning up servers, writing cron jobs, automating little tasks—without realizing how helpful all that would turn out to be.

Now, I work as a Tech Support Engineer at Laravel, where I get to help developers solve problems every day, learn about how the framework evolves, and explore interesting edge cases that come with scaling apps and infrastructure.

I’m George—and I like poking at servers, writing scripts, and always learning something new.
