Position: PHP Developer | Laravel
Category: PHP
English level: intermediate
Years of experience: 8

I independently built a commercial project from scratch, utilizing Laravel and AWS. I had full-stack responsibility for the project, excluding design work. This involved creating responsive markup using SCSS and JS, implementing PHP business logic, and developing an admin panel. I managed and deployed the project on AWS.

For purchasing and billing integration, I utilized LiqPay and PayPal tools to seamlessly integrate payment functionality into the system.

In another project, I developed and managed an e-commerce site on Laravel. I created responsive markup using CSS and JS, implemented a product parser, and developed a semi-automated system for product updates and an admin panel. Additionally, I integrated the Nova Poshta API for shipping and added a custom checkout page with an appealing design and user-friendly experience. Apart from programming tasks, I also took on responsibilities such as managing SEO, creating optimized content, and setting up contextual advertising.

I was also involved in bug fixing and adding new functionality to the backend of the Bacardi mobile application. This custom system was based on Wordpress with Laravel integrated as an installed theme. I developed a REST API, added new endpoints, integrated third-party APIs, and created documentation to ensure smooth integration and usage of the added features.
I have been involved in web development since 2014, specializing as a backend and frontend developer, utilizing PHP and JS. Throughout my experience, I have successfully developed various types of websites, including e-commerce sites, APIs, single-page applications (SPAs), blogs, dashboards, CRM systems, and small utility applications. Additionally, I have implemented third-party APIs into these projects. The majority of my work has been based on Laravel and jQuery, where I have completed several projects as a markup developer. In this role, I created responsive HTML templates using SCSS, gulp, flex, and grid, following the BEM methodology.

I have also gained proficiency in various technologies, including Wordpress, Symfony, Zend Framework, Shopify, and Yii 2. Many of the projects I worked on involved monolith applications that required solutions for JavaScript, CSS, and markup. Since 2016, I have extensively worked with REST APIs on Laravel and Symfony as a backend developer. Within Laravel projects, I have utilized Vue.js, customizing existing components, creating new ones, and integrating and adapting Vue packages.

Furthermore, I have experience integrating payment systems such as PayPal, Stripe, and LiqPay. I have also managed AWS environments, including EC2, RDS, and S3, and I am familiar with deployment processes and the setup and configuration of various hosting and domain environments.

Throughout my career, I have worked in teams of different sizes and have also gained experience as a freelancer.
I want to work with the Laravel ecosystem, and perhaps to join Vue to the stack in future.
