๐Ÿฅ‡ Expert in Symfony, Laravel and PHP, they're my bread and butter. Over 10 years I've built and shipped 30+ Symfony applications - from high-traffic SaaS platforms and complex REST API ecosystems to enterprise admin panels handling millions of requests daily. I also build and customize Shopware 6 and Sylius e-commerce platforms, both built on Symfony at their core - custom plugins, API integrations, and storefront modifications. If your project runs on Symfony, Shopware, or Sylius, you're talking to someone who thinks in Bundles, Services, and Doctrine entities. I'm equally deep in Laravel. I've delivered 50+ Laravel projects including multi-tenant SaaS apps, REST API backends, payment integrations (Stripe, PayPal), and real-time dashboards with Laravel Echo and WebSockets. From Eloquent to Queues to Nova admin panels - I know the framework inside out. At the core of everything I do is PHP. With 88+ projects delivered on Upwork alone, I write clean, tested, production-grade PHP that follows SOLID principles, PSR standards, and modern PHP 8.x features (enums, fibers, named arguments, attributes). I've also worked extensively with Yii2 for legacy projects and migrations to modern frameworks. Beyond PHP, I'm comfortable building microservices and background workers in Node.js and Python. I also leverage AI-assisted development tools - GitHub Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT - to accelerate code generation, debugging, and code review, delivering faster without compromising quality. ๐—ช๐—›๐—”๐—ง ๐—œ ๐——๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—ฉ๐—˜๐—ฅ โ–ธ Symfony, Shopware 6 & Sylius - Doctrine ORM, Twig, API Platform, Messenger, e-commerce plugins, storefront customization โ–ธ Symfony Core - Flex, Panther E2E testing, Messenger queues, Security component โ–ธ Laravel - Eloquent, Blade, Nova, Horizon, Sanctum/Passport, Laravel Vapor โ–ธ APIs - RESTful API design, GraphQL, SOAP, third-party integrations (Stripe, Twilio, AWS SDK) โ–ธ Cloud & DevOps - Docker, Amazon Web Services (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda), CI/CD with GitHub Actions & Jenkins โ–ธ Testing - PHPUnit, Pest, Symfony Panther, Selenium, 80%+ code coverage as standard โ–ธ Frontend - React, Vue.js, Livewire when full-stack delivery is needed โ–ธ Backend - Node.js services, Python scripting & automation, Yii2 maintenance โ–ธ Databases - MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis caching & queue management โ–ธ AI-Assisted Dev - GitHub Copilot, Claude (Opus/Sonnet), ChatGPT, Cursor for accelerated workflows ๐—›๐—ข๐—ช ๐—œ ๐—ช๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ž I don't just write code - I architect solutions.

I build full stack web applications using MERN, MEAN and custom PHP handling everything from database design to deployment. I work with startups and businesses that need a developer who can own the technical side end to end, not just execute a spec. Frontend: React.js, Next.js, JavaScript (ES6+) HTML5, CSS3, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap Backend: Node.js, Express.js, custom PHP development Python Backend: FastAPI, Django, Flask Database: MySQL, MongoDB Integrations: REST API development, third-party API integrations (payment gateways, authentication providers, external services) Most of the work I take on falls into one of these: Building a web application from scratch on MERN or MEAN from database schema through to a deployed, working product Rebuilding or maintaining an existing PHP-based system that needs new features, bug fixes, or a modern frontend Building or maintaining a Python backend with FastAPI, Django, or Flask, including API design and database integration Connecting a frontend to a backend API, including authentication, data validation, and error handling Integrating third-party services like payment gateways or external APIs into an existing product I keep the process simple: clear scope before starting, regular updates during the build and clean, documented code at handover so the project doesn't turn into a black box for whoever maintains it after me. I'm comfortable working across the full stack or joining an existing team for just the frontend, backend or database piece, whichever the project actually needs. Available for both project-based work and ongoing collaboration. If you have a project in mind, send over the details and I can tell you honestly whether it's a good fit and roughly how long it would take.
