Backend Engineer Helping Businesses Modernize PHP Applications
I help businesses modernize and scale PHP applications — especially legacy systems that became difficult to maintain, extend, or integrate. Over the last 10+ years, I’ve worked on backend systems in e-learning and telemetry domains, including projects involving: legacy PHP modernization monolith-to-microservices migration API integrations scalable backend architecture background job processing high-load data processing systems My core stack includes: PHP (Symfony, Laravel, Zend, Kohana, Codeigniter) REST APIs RabbitMQ MySQL AWS Docker / CI/CD workflows I also have commercial experience with Java/Spring Boot for backend services and distributed systems. What clients usually appreciate about working with me: ability to work with existing/legacy codebases clean and maintainable solutions strong debugging and problem-solving skills clear communication practical engineering approach without overengineering I’m comfortable working independently and can quickly dive into existing systems, fix bottlenecks, implement new functionality, or help gradually modernize legacy applications.
