Senior PHP developer building scalable web platforms with strong architecture and automation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior PHP Developer with 18 years of experience in the design, development, and programming of web pages, hosting, and domains. I focus on delivering reliable, maintainable systems—grounded in “Hexagonal Architecture, DDD, TDD” and deep “relational Databases” expertise.
Over the years, I’ve built and evolved production platforms across Symfony, Laravel, Drupal, and WordPress, while keeping quality high with “PHPUnit” and end-to-end automated testing (Nightwatch.js). I take ownership of legacy updates, feature delivery, and performance-minded development, using frameworks and patterns that make change safer.
I also bring practical DevOps experience to the teams I join—containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD, and cloud operations across AWS and GCP (including Google App Engine). I enjoy bridging development and delivery so releases are predictable, environments are consistent, and products scale without drama.
