I build and lead PHP platforms, APIs, and React applications.
What I'm looking for
I build backend-heavy web applications, APIs, and reporting systems with PHP, Symfony, Laravel, React, and SQL.
At Smart Working for I6 Group, I design backend features and APIs, maintain PHPUnit test coverage, and help shape technical decisions through requirements discussions and code reviews.
At Yarikul Infotech for Qbil Software BV, I led architecture for multi-tenant business applications and delivered client-facing products end to end, from React front ends to PHP/Symfony back ends. I also mentored a team of up to six engineers and shipped a web-based reporting system that improved developer turnaround time and customer satisfaction.
Earlier at BQE Software, I built and optimized SQL scripts, stored procedures, and functions for data migration, reconciliation, and issue resolution. I also explore Python-based forecasting APIs and RAG chatbots that help users find knowledgebase and support answers.
