Position: PHP Developer
Category: PHP
English level: upper
Years of experience: 10


I have been making backends for web and mobile applications for the last decade using PHP and major industry-standard frameworks like Symfony, Yii, Laravel, and API Platform.

I also have experience leading small teams. I organized the development processes, did task management, code reviews, release management, and more.
In my work, I follow the Unix philosophy: do just one thing, but do it well. For me, this thing is backend development.

I do not do anything else. Period. I do not make layouts. I do not write JavaScript. And last but not least I do not administer servers. No exceptions.

Also, I am not interested in outsourcing or outstuffing. I only do in-house development and only make projects with a long life-cycle.

My greatest belief in software development is that TDD is the only possible way to make quality software. Your team is either doing TDD or is willing to start doing it. Yes, it will take longer and it will be more expensive but it is the only way to deliver a quality software product.
