About Alex

Freelance full-stack developer specializing in PHP and Symfony, with direct and ongoing client relationships since 2011. I take full responsibility for projects: requirements gathering, development, deployment, maintenance, and evolution in production.

My primary area is back-end: custom back-office development, data integration, data modeling, and migrations. I configure and deploy on LAMP/LAPP environments (Apache, MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL, PHP) on Linux (Ubuntu); I have also worked with Nginx (LEMP). I have also deployed on a self-managed PaaS platform (Upsun, formerly Platform.sh). I use Docker in the development environment.

As a differentiating specialty, I have extensive experience in automatic product catalog generation (data → EasyCatalog/InDesign and PIM) and, more recently, in data integration and business intelligence (ETL with Talend, reports in Power BI).

As a representative example: I have been solely developing the online catalog and product management for ROVASI, an architectural lighting manufacturer, for over a decade, with a direct and sustained relationship.

I am looking for collaborations where I can provide technical solvency and long-term reliability, both in new projects and in the evolution and maintenance of existing Symfony applications.
