What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead backend delivery for high-traffic products where I can build reliable PHP services, improve microservice architecture, and work closely with cross-functional teams.

At Optimax, I lead the Personalization and CX backend team for a high-traffic online optical retailer, delivering customer-interaction domains, RMA workflows, and related services. I improved tax microservice reliability, added recovery tooling for failed transactions, and reduced inter-service coupling through focused refactoring.

I've built high-availability financial functionality at EuroBankPartner, asynchronous RabbitMQ flows, and REST integrations for Wirestock's multi-marketplace creator platform. Earlier, I delivered guest-management modules at Ginosi, VIP ticketing backend services at Fouraitch, and SaaS features and AWS integrations at Worldsoft AG.

I work primarily with PHP, Symfony, Laravel, MySQL, MongoDB, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Docker, and AWS, applying microservices, DDD, TDD, REST API design, and Agile/Scrum practices.
