What I'm looking for

I am looking for a senior backend role where I can lead backend architecture, improve reliability, mentor engineers, and work with cloud-native deployments and scalable API design.

I am a senior backend engineer with extensive experience building scalable PHP applications, RESTful APIs, and microservices using Symfony, Laravel and Doctrine. I have a strong background in test-driven development, domain-driven design, and behavior-driven development, and I consistently drive architecture and performance improvements.

I have built and maintained production systems for warehouse management, payment processing, SSO, and real-time order tracking, and I have integrated services such as MongoDB, Amazon S3, and various payment gateways. I also have hands-on experience deploying and operating applications on Google Cloud, Docker, and Kubernetes.

I mentor junior engineers, contribute to technical planning, and improve delivery through CI/CD and automated testing. I seek roles where I can lead backend development, improve system reliability, and help teams adopt best engineering practices.
