👨‍💻 Senior PHP Developer | Symfony | FullStack
Senior developer specialized in PHP/Symfony, with over 5 years of professional experience. I have participated in complex projects in demanding environments, with a strong appetite for REST architectures, robust APIs, and software quality.
🔹 **Current Experience**: I am currently working at Oxalys, a business ERP editor, to develop the stock management module as part of a major technical overhaul. The legacy application, developed for over 30 years in Magik, is being modernized to a web stack: PHP 8.3 (MVC), JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and SQL Server.
I joined a team of 8 developers to ensure the continuity of this modernization project, initially planned for 3 months, and extended to successfully complete the full functional switch of the tool to the web.
🔹 **Previous Experience**: During my assignment at the Ministry of the Interior, I worked within a structured team (Lead Tech, PO, Senior Devs, and interns) in a Dockerized environment. The focus was on SOLID principles, code quality (PHPStan, PHP CS Fixer, ReviewDog, ESLint), and testing (PHPUnit, Codeception). This assignment allowed me to strengthen my technical standards and my ability to produce clean, maintainable, and robust code.
🔹 **At ClubOfficine**, I worked within a microservices architecture as a Symfony backend developer. I designed and maintained several REST APIs. The use of monitoring tools like Kibana allowed me to develop strong reflexes in incident reporting and quality monitoring, in a context of high business demands.
