01. About Me

Expert in PHP, Symfony and Laravel. Specialist in microservices and AI-supported automation.

I am a Senior FullStack PHP Developer with over 11 years of experience in building monolithic and microservice architectures. I specialize in advanced backend, API integrations, and the modernization and repair of legacy systems.

In the development process, I actively use and support myself with modern AI solutions (Cursor, Antigravity, Gemini and Claude LLM), which allows me to deliver reliable documentation and high-quality code while maintaining maximum efficiency.

Creator of Open Source tools, author of technical articles on Medium, and hobbyist of trading systems in MQL5 and Godot engine games.
