Rizi Sadim
@rizisadim
Senior Full-Stack PHP developer delivering production-grade SaaS, scalable APIs, and payment integrations with rigorous testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full-Stack PHP Developer with 15+ years delivering production-grade web applications for international clients across SaaS hospitality, gaming/fintech, and healthcare. I specialize in Laravel, Symfony, RESTful API design, MySQL optimization, and payment gateway integrations.
In my current role at Emapta — Newbook (Storable), I maintain and enhance a multi-region B2B SaaS booking platform handling real-time availability checks and financial transactions. I design and optimize RESTful APIs and third-party integrations, integrate and support Stripe and Windcave payment gateways, and expand PHPUnit test coverage to improve release confidence.
Previously at Penbrothers — Bally's Interactive, I built and maintained high-traffic backend services using a Symfony + Laravel stack. I increased PHPUnit test coverage to 80%+, led Vue.js frontend implementation, and contributed Jest and PHPUnit tests within CI/CD and Docker workflows.
I’ve also supported end-to-end web development and healthcare systems earlier in my career, including zero-downtime healthcare web systems using PHP/MySQL/CodeIgniter. Across distributed AU/India/PH Agile teams, I keep quality high through code reviews, strong testing, and dependable deployment practices.
