What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build and maintain full-stack products, own backend and frontend features, collaborate on high-quality codebases, and work in teams that value testing, deployment automation, and continuous improvement.

I am a passionate full-stack developer with over six years of experience building web and mobile applications using PHP/Symfony, React/Next.js, and Swift/SwiftUI. I have led migrations, built APIs, dashboards, ticketing and merchant onboarding flows, and mobile apps—delivering tested, production-grade solutions and maintaining systems across Linux, macOS, and Windows environments.

I enjoy solving complex problems end-to-end, from backend architecture (Symfony, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Elasticsearch) to frontend interfaces (React, TypeScript, Tailwind) and deployment (Docker, CI/CD, AWS, DigitalOcean). I am available for projects of any scale and aim to support teams in maintaining existing apps and developing new features with strong code quality and automated testing.
