What I'm looking for

I want a role building scalable backend systems with strong testing and CI/CD, growing my DevOps skills in a collaborative, delivery-focused team.

I am a Senior PHP backend developer with extensive experience modernizing legacy PHP applications, migrating stacks (Silex→Symfony, PHP7→8.2), and delivering high-performance B2B e-commerce APIs. I champion test-driven development and automated quality tooling to reduce technical debt and improve platform scalability.

I have acted as interim project manager coordinating cross-functional teams, led CI/CD and containerization efforts with Docker and Kubernetes, and produced technical documentation and onboarding materials. I seek roles where I can continue expanding my DevOps expertise while delivering robust backend systems.
