What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a full-time remote Senior PHP software engineering role where I can build reliable platforms, integrations, search systems, and cloud infrastructure while leading technical delivery and mentoring developers.

At Innowise Group, I’m the sole developer of DataFlow Hub, a production enterprise data-integration platform replacing Lobster Data Platform for an Austrian purchasing cooperative. I built ingestion, parsing, mapping, and delivery workflows supporting 82 live partner channels across nine document formats.

I also delivered a multi-tenant B2B e-commerce search migration for POOL-ALPIN, creating an engine-agnostic Elasticsearch and Meilisearch abstraction across nine indices. I designed canary rollout, health-check fallback, instant rollback, and zero-downtime reindexing without native aliases.

Previously at RichBrains, I led and mentored developers while improving financial functionality, application performance, CI/CD, Kubernetes, and AWS infrastructure. I work daily with PHP 8+, Symfony, Doctrine, MySQL, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS, and I enjoy applying AI in development work.
