I’m a backend engineer with over 8 years of experience building and maintaining web applications, APIs, and distributed systems using PHP (Symfony, Laravel) and Go (Golang).
My core expertise includes designing RESTful and gRPC APIs, developing scalable microservices, and optimizing high-load systems. I have extensive experience with relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL), caching systems (Redis, Valkey), and message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka).
I work confidently with Docker, GitLab CI/CD, and cloud-based environments. I follow modern coding standards (PSR, SOLID) and best practices for performance, security, and maintainability.
I’ve led small teams of 3–5 developers, performing code reviews, architectural planning, and mentoring. My experience spans e-commerce, SaaS, and automation platforms.
I’m available for remote freelance or long-term backend projects, preferably in PHP or Go, and can ensure 4+ hours of overlap with European or US teams (UTC+3).
