I’m a PHP/MySQL expert with 17 years of hands-on experience building, maintaining, upgrading, and troubleshooting web systems. My core work includes PHP bug fixing, legacy PHP upgrades, server migration, MySQL optimization, security hardening, performance tuning, and resolving issues in existing codebases. I’m comfortable stepping into unfamiliar projects, reading existing code quickly, identifying root causes, and applying practical fixes without unnecessary overengineering. My technical background includes PHP, MySQL, Linux server environments, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, backend development, custom website development, and technical project leadership. I also use AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor to speed up full-stack development, improve debugging efficiency, and build modern web applications faster. Recently, I developed and launched an AI creative platform using a PHP backend and Next.js frontend, covering AI image generation, AI video tools, image processing workflows, and manual QA testing before release. In addition, I have experience with automation and data conversion tasks, including structured file processing such as PSD-to-JSON workflows. If you need someone who can understand existing systems, solve technical problems efficiently, modernize legacy projects, or build stable AI-assisted web applications, I’d be glad to help.

I’m a software engineer with 10 years of experience building and maintaining PHP/Laravel web applications. I help clients ship features, fix bugs, and improve performance—usually with small, safe changes instead of risky rewrites. I care about maintainability and stable production: clean code is great, but it still needs to ship. When it fits the project, I use tools like PHPStan (static analysis) and PHP-CS-Fixer (formatting) to keep changes safe and code style consistent. Tech: PHP 8, MySQL 8, Laravel, Redis, Docker, Linux, Nginx, Git

I’m a senior developer (ex-Baidu, 13+ years) focused on modern automation & AI — the kind that actually saves businesses time and money. What I do best: Take messy, manual processes (forms, spreadsheets, CRMs, Shopify/Woo, Slack, APIs, AI) and turn them into reliable, low-cost automated workflows — using n8n, Make, Python, and Google Apps Script when you want to avoid paid subscriptions. Recent real-world examples: · Multi-channel ecom ops (live demo): Shopify (master) + WooCommerce (slave) → n8n ingest → Postgres SoT → inventory writeback, order tracking, refund Slack alerts, competitor pricing with Slack Approve before live price updates, RFM insights, gated Resend marketing. OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Langfuse. Gated test→production — not a mock Zapier board. · B2B lead automation (production mode): Tally → n8n → DeepSeek enrichment/scoring → Google Sheets → Slack Assign/Junk/Nurture → HubSpot Contact + human-approved email DRAFT → Calendly sync → daily/weekly digests. Full observability with OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, and Langfuse. Gated test→production rollout. · Typeform → Airtable → Google Sheets (branch mapping, deduplication, error logging). Moved logic to Google Apps Script so the client avoided an Airtable upgrade. Late changes free → 5-star feedback & a return project. · Discord e-commerce bot (Stripe sandbox, webhooks, automatic card delivery, CSV exports). Full buy-to-delivery loop. · Custom RSS scraper + AI analysis + Telegram/Discord alerts (n8n, Python, local LLM, RAG). Scores and filters opportunities against resume criteria. Tech I use daily: n8n, Make, Python (FastAPI, pandas, openpyxl), Google Apps Script, Docker, CI/CD, REST APIs, webhooks, Shopify, WooCommerce, HubSpot, Slack, AI (DeepSeek, OpenAI, Ollama), and monitoring (OpenTelemetry + Jaeger + Langfuse). Why me? · I don’t just “connect APIs” — I design for error handling, retries, logging, and what happens if something breaks at 2am. · I respect your budget: free/low-cost first, scale only when needed. · 13 years of corporate engineering (Baidu) means clean delivery, documentation, and systems you can hand off. Let’s talk about your repetitive task — I’ll show you a faster, cheaper way to automate it.
