Mohamed Amine Bounachada

Independent PHP/Symfony backend developer, I help SMEs, scale-ups, agencies, and technical teams maintain, modernize, and stabilize their business applications.

I primarily work on existing projects: legacy refactoring, MVC structuring, REST API development, third-party integrations, business workflows, process automation, document generation, and improving the quality of the application core.

My profile is particularly suited for contexts where an application needs to continue running in production while evolving progressively: incident correction, urgent client requests, technical debt, architecture improvement, adding tests, stabilizing deployments, and code clarification.

I work with PHP, Symfony, Doctrine, API Platform, MySQL/PostgreSQL, JavaScript, Docker, Linux, Git, and automation tools like CI/CD or Ansible. I also have experience in fintech/SaaS environments, with challenges related to security, compliance, sensitive data, KYC/onboarding workflows, electronic signatures, and API integrations.

What I can bring you:

- Strengthen a backend team on an existing PHP/Symfony application;

- Audit and modernize a legacy codebase;

- Develop or stabilize REST APIs;

- Integrate third-party services: KYC, electronic signature, SharePoint, webhooks;

- Stabilize critical business processes;

- Support a team on best practices: Composer, autoloading, Doctrine, testing, CI/CD.

My approach is pragmatic: understand the business before modifying the code, secure sensitive processes, document technical choices, and deliver evolutions maintainable by the team.

Based in Strasbourg, available for remote missions in France or Luxembourg.
