Implemented JWT auth with refresh tokens, role-based access control, file-attachment subsystem, and legacy data-migration tooling. Led React 18 to 19 and TypeScript modernization. Handled PHP 8 migration, legacy framework maintenance, GTM analytics, and inventory sync for fashion e-commerce. Applied PHPUnit, PHPStan level 6, OpenAPI docs, and GitLab CI/CD with Docker Compose.
PBX/Contact-center platform modernization migrating legacy CodeIgniter telephony platform to Symfony 7.4 / PHP 8.4. Designed and implemented modules across the entire product including Kontakty, SMS, Campaign, Fax, IVR, Wallboard, and admin panel. Built REST API with JWT auth, CQRS message handlers, multi-tenancy support, and OpenAPI 3.0 documentation. Implemented async workers with Symfony Messenger and Mercure real-time updates.
