Senior Symfony developer and Laravel backend specialist with more than 10 years of experience building and maintaining production applications. I work on SaaS platforms, marketplaces, e-commerce systems, REST APIs and complex business software for long-term clients, including the frontend, mobile, cloud and automation layers when a project needs end-to-end delivery.
Symfony is my main specialization. I build new applications, take over existing systems, modernize legacy code and solve performance or architecture problems. My Symfony work includes Doctrine ORM, Twig, Messenger, Security, API Platform, PHPUnit and Panther. I also build and customize Sylius and Shopware 6 stores, plugins, integrations and storefronts.
Laravel is my second core stack. I have delivered multi-tenant SaaS products, API backends, payment integrations and real-time dashboards using Eloquent, queues, Horizon, Nova, Sanctum, Passport, Livewire, Echo and WebSockets.
PHP is the foundation of both. I write tested, maintainable PHP 8.x code using SOLID principles, PSR standards and practical architecture that another team can continue working with. I also maintain Yii2 applications and migrate legacy PHP systems to modern Symfony and Laravel versions.
For full-stack projects, I build interfaces with React, Vue.js, Angular, TypeScript and JavaScript. I use React Native and Flutter when a product also needs iOS or Android applications.
I build AI automations and developer workflows using Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and GitHub Copilot, together with Node.js and Python services where needed. These tools help with implementation, debugging, code review and repetitive workflows while I remain responsible for the architecture and production code.
My cloud and DevOps work includes AWS services such as EC2, S3, RDS and Lambda, plus Docker, Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL and CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Jenkins.
