What I'm looking for

I seek backend or full-stack roles where I can work on API-driven systems, perform migrations and optimizations, and grow with a collaborative team that values quality and learning.

I am an experienced backend developer with strong practical knowledge in C#, .NET 6 MVC and PHP (YII2), delivering commercial projects over three years across insurance and web domains.

I have built and migrated backends, including a complete new project with OAuth 2.0 authorization, REST APIs for frontends, and admin panels, and I migrated systems from .NET 5 to .NET 6 and from MSSQL to PostgreSQL.

My PHP/YII2 work includes supporting and improving large projects, writing migration code for complex tree-structured data, and maintaining live sites; I also maintain and fix frontend issues (HTML/CSS/JS) when needed.

I value deadlines, attention to detail, continuous learning, and collaborative teamwork, and I bring practical experience with Git, Docker, Composer, ELK and relational databases.
