Tech Lead PHP — 10+ years of experience | Symfony · Laravel · Architecture · SaaS
Senior PHP developer turned Tech Lead, I support product teams in designing and delivering robust and scalable SaaS applications. With over 10 years of experience on high-stakes business projects, I master both the technical and human aspects.
My approach is hybrid: I stay hands-on with code while ensuring architectural choices, developer mentoring, and coordination with stakeholders. I have worked on various stacks — Symfony, Laravel, Zend, Yii — and I adapt solutions to the project context, not the other way around.
What I bring to your teams:
— Design of solid backend architectures (DDD, Clean Architecture, REST/GraphQL APIs)
— Code review, best practices, team skill development
— Technical project management of SaaS projects from A to Z
— Fluid communication between tech and business teams
— Available remotely or hybrid, accustomed to working with distributed teams
If you are looking for a senior technical profile who also knows how to unite a team and deliver on time, let's talk.
