I specialize in backend development with PHP, Laravel, Symfony, Node.js, and Python, and I have extensive experience working with relational and NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Redis, and MongoDB. I have led development teams, founded and managed a software agency, and delivered a wide range of projects for mid-sized and enterprise clients across ERP, web platforms, e-commerce, and infrastructure-heavy systems. My background also includes DevOps and cloud engineering, with hands-on work in AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and scalable deployment architectures. I enjoy modernizing legacy systems, designing maintainable architectures, improving performance, and creating reliable solutions that support business growth and operational efficiency. I am open to opportunities where I can contribute as a senior technical individual contributor or lead, especially in backend, architecture, platform engineering, and cloud-focused roles. ## Skills 47 capabilities[Angular](https://jobicy.com/talent/angular.md)[Automation](https://jobicy.com/talent/automation.md)[AWS](https://jobicy.com/talent/aws.md)[Azure](https://jobicy.com/talent/azure.md)[CakePHP](https://jobicy.com/talent/cakephp.md)[CI CD](https://jobicy.com/talent/ci-cd.md)[Cloudwatch](https://jobicy.com/talent/cloudwatch.md)[CQRS](https://jobicy.com/talent/cqrs.md)[DDD](https://jobicy.com/talent/ddd.md)[Docker](https://jobicy.com/talent/docker.md)[DynamoDB](https://jobicy.com/talent/dynamodb.md)[ERP](https://jobicy.com/talent/erp.md)[Event Driven Systems](https://jobicy.com/talent/event-driven-systems.md)[GCP](https://jobicy.com/talent/gcp.md)[Grafana](https://jobicy.com/talent/grafana.md)[GraphQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/graphql.md)[HTML](https://jobicy.com/talent/html.md)[JavaScript](https://jobicy.com/talent/javascript.md)[Kubernetes](https://jobicy.com/talent/kubernetes.md)[Laravel](https://jobicy.com/talent/laravel.md)[Linux](https://jobicy.com/talent/linux.md)[Lumen](https://jobicy.com/talent/lumen.md)[Microservices](https://jobicy.com/talent/microservices.md)[MongoDB](https://jobicy.com/talent/mongodb.md)[MySQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/mysql.md)[NestJS](https://jobicy.com/talent/nestjs.md)[OOP](https://jobicy.com/talent/oop.md)[Oracle](https://jobicy.com/talent/oracle.md)[PayPal](https://jobicy.com/talent/paypal.md)[PHP](https://jobicy.com/talent/php.md)[Pl SQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/pl-sql.md)[PostgreSQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/postgresql.md)[Prometheus](https://jobicy.com/talent/prometheus.md)[Python](https://jobicy.com/talent/python.md)[Redis](https://jobicy.com/talent/redis.md)[Reporting](https://jobicy.com/talent/reporting.md)[REST](https://jobicy.com/talent/rest.md)[Serverless](https://jobicy.com/talent/serverless.md)[SOLID](https://jobicy.com/talent/solid.md)[SQL Server](https://jobicy.com/talent/sql-server.md)[Stripe](https://jobicy.com/talent/stripe.md)[Symfony](https://jobicy.com/talent/symfony.md)[Terraform](https://jobicy.com/talent/terraform.md)[VMWare](https://jobicy.com/talent/vmware.md)[VPN](https://jobicy.com/talent/vpn.md)[WooCommerce](https://jobicy.com/talent/woocommerce.md)[WordPress](https://jobicy.com/talent/wordpress.md) ##
