I'm a senior PHP developer with 20 years of experience building, scaling, and maintaining web applications that are fast, secure, and built to last. I help teams and founders with: * Custom PHP development (clean architecture, OOP, SOLID principles) * PHP packages & SDKs from scratch (Composer-ready, well-documented, testable) * Legacy code rescue & modernization (refactoring, stabilization, PHP upgrades) * API design & integrations (REST, payment gateways, third-party services) * Performance optimization (profiling, caching, query tuning) * Security hardening (authentication, permissions, OWASP best practices) * MySQL expertise (schema design, indexing, query optimization, migrations) What you can expect: * Clear communication and realistic estimates * Practical solutions with no over-engineering * Code you can hand off confidently - readable, tested, and documented * A long-term mindset that optimizes for maintainability and business outcomes I work with modern PHP 8.x practices by default: strong typing, strict standards, automated testing (PHPUnit), static analysis (PHPStan), and PSR conventions. I build on proven, well-maintained packages and keep codebases aligned with contemporary engineering standards. I'm also comfortable across the full stack when needed: Linux environments, deployments, DNS setup, domain verification, and basic marketing tooling (Google Analytics, Search Console, practical SEO fundamentals). I leverage AI tools strategically to accelerate delivery - faster iteration, safer refactors, better test coverage - without compromising quality through thorough reviews, testing, and static analysis. If you need an expert who can jump into an existing system, make sense of it quickly, and deliver measurable improvements - let's talk.
