What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a PHP full-stack or backend role where I can build and optimize web platforms, APIs, CMS solutions, and integrations, collaborate in an Agile team, and grow through challenging product work.

I've built and maintained PHP web platforms at DigitalUniversityUA, developing Yii2 backend modules, data-processing workflows, file handling, and Excel/Word import-export features.

I improved caching and session management to reduce database load and improve response times in selected modules by up to 40%. I also supported government-registry integrations, adapted systems to changing external requirements, and maintained a Moodle-based e-learning platform.

At EPAM Systems, I developed Symfony backend logic, RESTful APIs, database entities, and migrations for a full-stack training project. I configured Docker on Ubuntu, worked with Redis caching and sessions, and collaborated in an Agile team using Jira.

Through freelance Symfony and WordPress work, I've built e-commerce data-import flows, processed large XML sources, created custom plugins and themes, and improved legacy websites. I use AI-assisted workflows for debugging, refactoring, research, and routine development while retaining responsibility for architecture, security, business logic, and code quality.
