Description

Looking for a freelance PHP/Symfony back-end developer capable of delivering robust, scalable, and on-time APIs? You've come to the right place. 🚀

💼 17 years of experience in web development, including 8 years as a freelancer

🏆 Senior developer at Plus que pro and Soan (Paris) on Symfony 6/7 APIs

✅ Around ten clients supported: L'Équipe, Blissim (formerly Birchbox), iDGARAGES.com, Bird Office, Testapic…

🎓 Web development trainer for 5 years at #SUPDEWEB (PHP, Git, Symfony, JS, Linux)

👷🏻 Creator of two personal projects with high audience: Foot123.fr (several thousand visits/day, Eurosport partnership) and QCMstore.fr (Prestashop e-commerce then Shopify)

⭐️ Transversal expertise: Symfony (2 to 7), PHP (5 to 8), DDD, JavaScript, Linux administration

The recurring problem with freelance Symfony developers: they are not always autonomous, rigorous, or capable of upskilling a team. 😕

Your need is simple: a developer who designs, codes, and evolves your APIs and platforms reliably, without constant supervision. Otherwise, you lose time ⏳, money 💰, and the trust of your technical teams.

This is my core business. I think like an entrepreneur: I apply 17 years of PHP/Symfony experience, from code to server administration, and I work on your platform as if it were one of my own projects, with the same level of requirement that I impose on myself for Foot123 or QCMstore for over ten years. 🎯💪

Contact me by private message to discuss. 👋
