SMART Loan System for Banks

As a senior PHP backend engineer at Expert Business IT Solutions, I have been working on a project to develop a loan booking and payment tracking application for banks in Ghana. The system is designed to handle the highly dynamic loan approval process for government workers and can be used by multiple banks, making it a multi-database, multi-tenant system.

I have utilized the latest technologies, including Laravel 10, MySQL, Redis, message queues, and distributed systems to build a robust, scalable, and efficient system. With a focus on caching and performance, this project showcases my expertise in PHP development and my ability to handle complex projects that require a deep understanding of technology and business requirements.
