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 senior developer (ex‑Baidu, 13+ years) who has shifted my focus to modern automation & AI — because that’s what actually saves businesses time and money. What I do best: Take messy, manual processes (spreadsheets, forms, APIs, databases, AI) and turn them into reliable, low‑cost, automated workflows — using n8n, make, Python, and sometimes just Google Apps Script when the client wants to avoid paid subscriptions. Recent real‑world examples: · Typeform → Airtable → Google Sheets workflow (with branch mapping, deduplication, error logging). Saved the client from upgrading their Airtable plan by moving the logic to Google Apps Script. Delivered late changes for free → got 5‑star feedback & a return project. · Discord e‑commerce bot (Stripe sandbox, webhook callback, automatic card delivery, CSV exports). Full buy‑to‑delivery closed loop. · Custom RSS scraper + AI analysis + Telegram/Discord alerts (n8n, Python, local LLM, RAG). Automatically scores and filters opportunities based on my resume. Tech I use daily: n8n, make, Python (FastAPI, pandas, openpyxl), Google Apps Script, Docker, CI/CD, REST APIs, webhooks, AI (OpenAI, local LLMs via Ollama), vector DBs, and monitoring (OpenTelemetry + Jaeger + Langfuse). Why me? · I don’t just “connect APIs” — I think about error handling, retries, logging, and what happens if something breaks at 2am. · I respect your budget: I’ll suggest a free/low‑cost solution first, then scale up only when needed. · 13 years of corporate engineering (Baidu) means clean code, documentation, and reliable delivery. Let’s talk about your repetitive task — I’ll show you a faster, cheaper way to automate it.

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
