Hello! About me: - Strong advocate of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Clean Architecture. - Highly proficient in AI-assisted software development. - Open-source contributor (currently contributing to Laravel). - Built a game in assembly language for the ZX Spectrum in 1994. AI-assisted development: I combine extensive hands-on programming experience with advanced AI-assisted development workflows to deliver solutions faster without compromising code quality. I use AI effectively for implementation, debugging, refactoring, writing tests, and exploring architectural options. My strength is knowing how to give AI the right context, break complex problems into actionable tasks, and critically evaluate the results. I don’t just generate code — I understand, review, and validate it. AI accelerates my workflow, while engineering judgment and responsibility for the final result remain mine. I have experience with: - Backend: PHP (Laravel, Yii2), Node.js (Express). - Frontend: JavaScript, TypeScript (Next.js, React, Vue). - Databases: SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, InterBase/Firebird), NoSQL (Firestore, MongoDB). - Localization. - CI/CD. - Google Cloud Platform and Firebase (Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions, Hosting, and more). - Docker and Docker Compose. - Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC). - Tailwind CSS, Materialize, Bootstrap, and Tachyons. - Linux (Apache, Nginx, Bash, and more). I started programming at 15 with Z80 assembly language and BASIC. Then came Turbo Pascal 5.5, followed by seven years of Delphi development with InterBase, Paradox, FoxPro, Adaptive Server Anywhere, and VBA. Today, I work with modern PHP and JavaScript frameworks — and I genuinely enjoy it!
