Message

I'm a backend PHP developer with 7+ years of experience. I currently work in fintech, building APIs and services with PHP 8 and Symfony, and helping modernize a large legacy system.

I like making systems faster and more reliable.

Before that, I spent six years building backend features and integrations on Drupal platforms for international clients. I'm an Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Expert.

I'm looking for a remote backend role, ideally in fintech or a product company. Based in Moldova, with EU work authorization.
