Naumche Mileski

I'm a full-stack developer, mostly working in Laravel. I've built SaaS platforms, payment integrations and APIs, plus plenty of frontend work in Blade, jQuery, React and Next.js. On the side, I've been building and maintaining a C#/.NET desktop app for driving schools since 2013.

Where I've worked

Full Stack PHP/Laravel Developer — IT Quarks

Aug 2023 – Sep 2026

fxleaders.com, venn.com, eigenvox.com, docugenius.ai

Laravel WordPress Symfony Next.js React TypeScript Angular Redis InfluxDB Stripe Paddle AWS EC2
  • → Built custom WordPress themes and plugins from scratch — integrating Stripe and Paddle payments — and designed WordPress REST API endpoints for a companion mobile app.
  • → Migrated a legacy Symfony application to Laravel, then built an event-driven pipeline feeding user-behavior data into a separate Laravel analytics platform.
  • → Managed and optimized server infrastructure, including CDN configuration and an IIS server delivering real-time crypto, stock, commodity, and index data.
  • → Contributed to a distributed, low-latency system on EC2 across US, Gulf, and EU regions, behind a React/Node.js frontend with Angular integration.
  • → Used Redis for caching and InfluxDB for time-series storage as part of a real-time crypto, stock, commodity, and index data platform.
  • → Built frontend features for eigenvox.com with Next.js (App Router), React, and TypeScript — including SEO/metadata setup and a hand-rolled light/dark theming system — and contributed frontend fixes to docugenius.ai's Next.js/React/TypeScript dashboard.

Full Stack PHP/Laravel Developer — VisualGest ERP

Apr 2023 – Jul 2023

mira.ehubco.com

Laravel REST APIs
  • → Built a multi-marketplace listing tool letting sellers list products across multiple online retailers from a single Excel upload.

Full Stack PHP/Laravel Developer — Cosmic Development

Mar 2019 – Apr 2023

bookmark.com — SaaS website builder (Laravel monolith, 200K+ LOC, ~20-engineer team)

Laravel MySQL Docker Redis Stripe PayPal OpenSRS API
  • → Co-designed a row-level multi-tenant schema (corporation → reseller → client), letting agencies resell the platform under their own pricing without per-tenant databases.
  • → Built and maintained 50+ drag-and-drop builder modules as primary owner of the builder's module and editor subsystems.
  • → Built a custom OpenSRS integration for domain search, purchase, transfer, and DNS zone management, alongside Stripe (via Laravel Cashier) and PayPal payment processing.
  • → Built admin reporting and dashboards with separate, optimized read queries rather than reusing the heavier Eloquent models built for the write path.
  • → Integrated third-party services — SendGrid, Mailchimp, Mandrill, Facebook Graph API, Ecwid, Intercom, and Bugsnag — to extend platform functionality.
  • → Deployed via Docker (PHP-FPM/OpenResty, Redis, MySQL) on AWS, with Redis caching to reduce load and PhantomJS/FFmpeg pipelines for headless rendering and media processing.

WordPress Developer — ISG Macedonia

Aug 2017 – Jan 2019

danskevv.dk — Danske Vandværker, the Danish national association of local waterworks

WordPress Microsoft Navision web services Webhooks
  • → Replaced a failing two-way cron sync between WordPress and Microsoft Navision — which had server usage pinned at 100% — with a direct, real-time, webhook-driven integration built on ~10 custom Navision web services, cutting server resource usage by up to 95%.

Earlier

BlackBerry Developer — ItCrowd

Jul 2010 – Aug 2011

Developed an augmented-reality app for BlackBerry devices (Wikitude AR, still in production today).

C#/.NET (WinForms) desktop application for driving-school record management, licensed and sold to 30+ driving schools across North Macedonia.

C# .NET (WinForms) SQL Server Compact GDI+
  • → Built and independently maintained for 12+ years — candidate registries, theory-class logs, exam and payment tracking, and printing of officially formatted government forms.
  • → ~30,000 lines of hand-written C#, with a self-migrating local database schema (SQL Server Compact) that upgrades itself automatically across a decade of client installations with no manual intervention.
  • → Custom GDI+ printing that reproduces official government forms pixel-accurately, with per-license customization for 30+ driving-school clients.
  • → Ongoing maintenance to the present day (new form types, new license categories, regulatory changes) — long-term, end-to-end ownership of a single codebase alongside full-time roles.
