SerbiaWhat I'm looking for
At ITECH.group, I develop PHP backend modules and REST APIs for business-critical systems. I restructured a critical MySQL query and added indexes, reducing its runtime from about six minutes to 10–15 seconds.
I also helped separate a PHP backend from a Nuxt frontend while preserving legacy business logic, and maintained Oracle, payment, logistics, and email integrations. I lead 3–4 developers through task allocation, code review, and technical guidance while staying hands-on.
