Aren Allahverdyan

I’m a backend developer with about three years of commercial experience, focused on PHP 8 and Laravel. I build and own backend features end to end—designing clean APIs, integrating third parties, and keeping systems fast and reliable as traffic and data grow.

Most notably, I designed and built a large internal CRM from the ground up, owning the backend architecture and delivery of features. I implemented REST APIs and an adapter layer for third-party integrations with error handling and retries, and I also handled billing and transactional logic (accounts, deposits, balances, spend).

I’m strongly performance-oriented: I optimize under data growth using caching and queues on Redis, query tuning, and read scaling. I also moved heavy analytics to ClickHouse (around 30M rows), which made reports about 20x faster.

I’ve also worked on real-time systems and services in Node.js/TypeScript, including WebSocket features (Socket.io + Redis) and background jobs (Bull). I value quality through testing and static analysis (PHPUnit, Pest, PHPStan/Larastan), and I deliver with Docker and GitLab CI/CD—participating in deploy, monitoring, and incident handling.
