Stepan Kutyrev

I am a PHP backend engineer with over five years of experience building and maintaining complex backend systems using Laravel and Symfony. I focus on designing scalable architectures, optimizing databases for high load, and creating robust RESTful APIs.

At enterprise scale, I have architected high-availability services, implemented standardized error-handling and validation layers, and engineered automated integration bridges for third-party services like payment gateways and CRMs. I also refactor legacy codebases to modern, multi-module architectures to improve maintainability and team velocity.

My work spans performance tuning, advanced indexing and query optimization, ETL process development, and building asynchronous processing with queue workers. I routinely manage DevOps-related responsibilities including Docker-based deployments, CI/CD, and production monitoring to ensure uptime and reliability.

I bring a pragmatic, results-oriented approach that blends backend engineering, automation with Python where needed, and collaboration on frontend improvements to deliver complete, production-ready solutions.
