Senior backend engineer optimizing high-scale distributed PHP systems for reliability and performance.
TurkeyWhat I'm looking for
I’m an expert backend engineer building and optimizing high-scale production systems. I focus on distributed services, performance bottlenecks, and reliability, having reduced system overhead by 5x and increased API capacity by 30% under sustained load.
In production environments, I’ve architected Redis Cluster caching (10M+ websites), cutting database queries by 60% and panel load times by 45%. I’ve migrated legacy components to Kubernetes microservices to enable daily deployments and improved API response times from 1.2s to 400ms.
I also deliver end-to-end backend performance improvements across financial and SaaS platforms—cutting invoice processing from 8s to under 1s, optimizing SaaS financial APIs by 30%, doubling capacity to 5K+ active businesses, and supporting 100K+ monthly transactions on AWS. From microservices and queues to observability and integrations (Stripe, email services, analytics, AI/LLM APIs), I build systems that scale cleanly and stay dependable.
