Description

Fayez, 39 years old, web developer, in the PHP ecosystem since 2010.

I can certainly help you with several aspects of your needs.

Over the last 15 years, I have participated in all activities of a product lifecycle, from gathering client requirements to monitoring a system in execution.

I have also met many people and learned a lot from others thanks to technology.

Here is my story if you are recruiting an IT professional, a full human being:

Engineering background.

Always passionate, my first open-source PHP contribution on Github dates back 15 years on the Joomla CMS.

Started my professional career in Tunis with 4 years of fixed-price projects for the French-speaking market (Symfony 1.4, Symfony2).

Eager for larger-scale projects, I needed the right context.

In Paris (the birthplace of Symfony) since the end of 2014, I have worked on a consulting basis for various clients, from startups in incubators to large corporations:

Foncia
Smile
BeInSports
InsideBoard
ensembl.fr

I have been in the media since 2016, notably withFrance Media Mondeand **Prisma Media**, working on:

High-traffic websites with large data volumes using Symfony and Opensearch deployed on Kubernetes on AWS.
An editorial backoffice using Symfony API Platform & Ratchet (websocket) on the backend, and Vue.js & autobahn-js on the frontend.
A real-time data ingestion engine to integrate various external data providers.

I am available to get acquainted and discuss what is not covered in this text.
