Position: Senior PHP Developer
Category: PHP
English level: fluent
Years of experience: 11

The greatest challenge in my career path was to take the team lead role without prior leading experience, to create an architecture of an E-learning portal, and to manage the team of five developers which had to develop this solution and make it ready for commercial use.
My overall experience in software development industry lasts for 15 years. During this time I have tried a lot of different languages and tools, ranging from OpengGL in .NET to full-stack development with PHP. I have worked in startups, outstaff and outsource teams, and spent several years freelancing.

Most part of the time I worked as a senior PHP developer. I have been assigned to the tech lead role once, but prefer to evolve in technology rather than management.

Here is a list of tools and technologies I worked with:

* PHP 5, 7, 8
* Laravel 7,8; Symfony 5, 6
* MySQL 5, 8;  PostgreSQL; MongoDB
* React, Vue
* Javascript, Typescipt 
* PHPUnit, Webdriver.IO
* Docker, Kubernetes
* Redis, RabbitMQ
* AWS Cloud, GCP

English: B2/C1. I communicate with native speakers without issues.

I am not excited about legacy code, but can live with it.

I prefer to grow in T-shape manner, keeping back-end development as my backbone strength, while obtaining front-end and devops skills as needed.

Taking into account my mathematical background, I got certain interest in AI/ML areas.
No CRM (Wordpress/Drupal/etc), and no Magento.
