What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical roles leading development of scalable e‑commerce or web platforms, emphasizing performance, architecture ownership, and team mentorship.

I am a senior PHP full-stack developer with eight years building and maintaining web applications, e-commerce platforms, and performance-critical systems. I focus on scalable architectures, data integrity under load, and dependable payment integrations.

My work emphasizes clean, maintainable code, version control discipline, and automated testing to deliver stable systems at scale. I take ownership of architecture and technical decisions while delivering iterative, testable increments.

I have led and mentored teams, applied OOP, SOLID principles, and design patterns, and driven cross-functional collaboration with designers and stakeholders to refine functionality and usability.

I bring strong front-end skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) combined with deep back-end expertise (PHP, MySQL) and practical experience with DevOps tools, caching, search, and CI/CD to optimize performance, security, and maintainability.
