Passionate Full-Stack Engineer with over 10 years of experience delivering robust commercial solutions across the LAMP and LEMP stack. Having evolved from a background in Foreign Languages to technical mastery, I combine clear communication with a deep expertise in PHP / Laravel, MySQL / PostgreSQL, and TypeScript / React. My background spans the entire lifecycle of commercial web-based applications, passionate about building quality products and clean code, while focused on performance and testability. I pride myself on writing maintainable, test-driven code and adhering to SOLID/DRY principles. I am ambitious and adaptable, able to handle DevOps responsibilities – from designing high-performance APIs to managing Dockerized deployments on AWS / GCP.
Future Aspirations:
To begin explaining what I’m looking for in the future I guess I need to briefly go through what I’ve been doing lately. So I’ve had a couple of senior PHP developer roles and even a CTO position recently (although CTO is a bit much as it was a one man team there at the Tab representing IT dpt, web dev while liaising with partners and 3rd party companies). I like coding (mostly back-end but often front end too), I’ve been doing it for several years and I want to keep doing it. I also like venturing into the marketing aspects of building a website (SEO, social media, PPC etc) and I’ve often done that especially in my freelancing. So I believe I have a good understanding of the entire development life-cycle and I could get involved or oversee all aspects of that.
For these reasons I would really appreciate the opportunity and challenge of leading a team or department while still getting down and dirty with coding and occasionally client facing duties. I think I’m ready for that though there is still much to learn (there will always be new things to embrace) and I want to put my experience and skillset to good use, while keeping up to date with latest emerging technologies. And I want this to be my contribution to a long lasting relationship.
Personal Statement:
A motivated web professional with experience across the full development life-cycle. I consider myself a creative and organised developer, good observer and quite attentive to details, and with high analysis abilities. I am accustomed to working under pressure and using own initiative. Quick to assimilate new ideas, concepts and cutting-edge technologies, I know I can gather further knowledge and experience along the way as I am also very enthusiastic about learning and experiencing.
