Backend architect with deep roots in PHP/Symfony, complemented by React and Flutter expertise to drive entire development pipelines.
Senior Backend Engineer & Symfony Specialist with 10+ years of experience, primarily built around high-performance web applications in agency environments. In recent years, I have expanded my skillset into React and Flutter, allowing me to bring a strong full-stack vision and work across the entire stack when a project calls for it.
I'm currently open to new opportunities — freelance collaborations, product-driven teams, or startup ventures — with a clear preference for smaller, focused teams over large multinational corporations.
Senior backend engineer working on a portfolio of about a dozen client applications built on PHP and Symfony, ranging from brand new greenfield projects to high-scale legacy platforms. Responsible for architecture design, database schema planning, and modernizing existing codebases within an agile team. Over time, complemented my core backend expertise with React and Flutter to maintain a strong full-stack vision and bridge development gaps when needed.
Started with core PHP and WordPress-based web development, which made up the majority of my tenure. Over time, successfully transitioned into modern, object-oriented development as the company began adopting the Symfony framework.
Gained initial professional experience during my university years. Assisted in developing a JavaScript-based workflow editor during a faculty internship, and worked on a separate contract project maintaining and improving a student sports-performance tracking application.
A recurring custom contract running since 2022, expanding with new business requirements every year. The project covers the complete registration portal, online payment gateway integration, and comprehensive backoffice support. Built on native Symfony, requires a strong product-driven mindset and long-term architectural planning.
A multi-layered enterprise project involving custom Ibexa DXP-based CMS development and the complex migration of 30,000+ multilingual articles from an undocumented legacy database dump. Successfully reconstructed the entire data structure and content relationships from scratch. The platform also includes a React/Flutter-based mobile companion app currently in beta.
A student sports-performance tracking application originally written in native PHP, later fully modernized under a dedicated contract. The core milestone of the project was systematically migrating and rewriting the legacy codebase into a modern Symfony architecture, ensuring data continuity and system stability.
