@vladimirstan
Senior backend engineer and architect designing scalable travel platforms, APIs, and cloud infrastructure with proven reliability.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer and Backend Architect with over 15 years of experience building and operating high-performance backend platforms for travel technology, e-commerce, and real estate.
Throughout my career, I’ve delivered scalable booking engines, complex API integrations (including GDS and third-party APIs), cloud infrastructure, payment processing and financial reconciliation workflows, plus enterprise back-office systems.
I’m deeply focused on software architecture and distributed systems—designing for PHP/Laravel/Symfony maintainability, SOLID-based code, and performance tuning across databases, caching layers, and application workflows.
I also own the full software lifecycle: architecture and implementation through deployment, monitoring, performance optimization, and production support—using AWS, Linux, CI/CD, and strong observability to keep systems reliable under load.
