Focus

Backend developer focused on PHP-based platforms and brownfield systems.

Most of my work revolves around understanding existing codebases, improving maintainability, integrating external services, and incrementally modernizing legacy applications without disrupting production systems.

I enjoy simplifying complex areas of mature systems and introducing better structure, automation, and container-based delivery over time.

Working style

  • Prefer incremental improvements over large rewrites.
  • Focus on understanding existing systems before changing them.
  • Aim to reduce complexity and improve maintainability over time.
  • Value automated delivery and reproducible environments.

Main stack

  • PHP backend (Pimcore, Shopware, Symfony ecosystem)
  • MySQL / MariaDB
  • REST APIs & integrations
  • Docker environments
  • CI/CD (GitLab CI)
  • Traefik-based infrastructure

What I work on

My work typically focuses on backend systems that need to remain stable and understandable over time: refactoring existing codebases, improving deployment processes, and reducing operational complexity.

Approach

Understand the problem and the domain first.
Design clear application boundaries.
Write maintainable PHP code.
Automate deployment to keep systems predictable.

Current technical interests

  • simplifying CI/CD pipelines
  • container-based development environments
  • improving long-term maintainability of PHP applications
