Back to original languageAbout Josuah
Your pronunciation of my first name might have stumbled: it's pronounced "Jossuah". Rest assured, my Symfony architectures are easier to read.
Senior Symfony Developer / Lead PHP Backend, I help SMEs, startups, and SaaS publishers design, refactor, and stabilize their business applications, REST APIs, and web platforms with Symfony and PHP as the backbone.
I step in when the backend truly matters: complex business logic, legacy PHP application to modernize, API to structure, technical debt slowing down the product, or internal tool on which the whole team depends.
What I handle:
🔧 Custom business application development with Symfony
🔌 REST API design and evolution (Symfony / API Platform)
♻️ Refactoring and modernization of existing PHP/Symfony applications
🧱 Backend architecture: business domain separation, services, Doctrine, workflows
✅ Software quality: PHPUnit, refactoring, CI/CD, maintainability
🚀 Stabilization of critical applications: performance and reliability
👥 Lead dev: technical scoping, code review, team skill development
In concrete terms, I have already delivered: business tools for a group of ~400 pharmacies, an internal ERP, a multi-site/multi-language CMS from scratch, automated document generators, and complex business workflows.
In short, subjects where "it works on my machine" is not a sustainable strategy.
My added value: a clearer, more robust, and more enjoyable backend to evolve without over-engineering. Code that your next recruit will understand without an exorcism.
Main stack: Symfony, PHP 8+, Doctrine, API Platform, PHPUnit, PostgreSQL/MySQL, Docker, REST, CI/CD. TypeScript/React when it serves the product.
