What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a full-time remote backend role where I can build high-load PHP systems, REST APIs, microservices, and modular monolith architectures while improving performance and engineering processes.

At Osu (IT), I've designed and implemented scalable backend systems using Laravel, Symfony, and custom MVC frameworks.

I've conducted performance audits, refactored legacy applications, reviewed code, and established architectural standards for high-load web systems. My work includes complex MySQL and PostgreSQL schemas, query and index optimization, and Redis and Memcached caching strategies.

I've integrated CloudPayments, PayPal, cryptographic gateways, ERP/accounting systems, and third-party delivery services. I also engineer RESTful JSON/XML APIs and real-time bidirectional data flows with WebSockets.

I've built a custom Modular Monolith architecture that supports rapid development and future migration to microservices without performance overhead.
