02 / About

About

I am a PHP / Laravel backend developer working on production systems in the logistics industry.

I specialize in maintaining and improving existing applications, implementing new backend functionality, optimizing SQL queries and investigating production issues.

I am comfortable working with existing codebases and legacy systems, understanding how they behave in production, finding the root cause of problems and implementing practical changes without breaking existing processes.
