About Pablo

Senior Symfony Developer (9 years of experience, ex-Technical Director at an agency), I provide backend support to agencies and product teams on long-term assignments.

I work as an integrated developer within your team: autonomous, quick to grasp an existing codebase, and delivery-oriented.
Objective: to advance your product frictionlessly, without technical debt, and without the need for micro-management.

I typically work on:

  • Symfony backend development (features, product evolutions)
  • API design and evolution (business applications, SaaS)
  • Stabilizing applications in production (bugs, technical debt)
  • Refactoring and improving existing code
  • Performance optimization

My working method is as follows:

  • Quick understanding of the business and challenges
  • Clean, maintainable, and team-exploitable code
  • Direct and effective communication
  • Respect for deadlines and commitments

6 years in agencies (developer, project manager then technical director), then freelance.
I am used to working on projects already in production with challenges related to stability, scalability, and speed of execution.

Types of assignments:

  • Symfony team reinforcement for several months
  • SaaS development and evolution
  • Complex business applications

I prefer long-term collaborations with structured teams.

Stack: Symfony, PHP, API, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Docker, Git, GitLab, Vue.js, JavaScript

If you are looking for a Symfony developer who can integrate quickly and produce effectively over time, you can contact me.

Experience

  • Klero
    Founder & Developer of a Missed Call Management SaaS
    TELECOMMUNICATIONS
    June 2026 - Today (2 months)
    Lyon, France
    Design and complete development of Klero (kleroapp.com): a SaaS that automatically turns every missed call from a professional into a qualified lead.
    Functionality: when a client calls without an answer, they immediately receive an SMS with a form; their request is qualified by AI, the professional is notified in real-time, and any voice message is recorded and transcribed. For professionals without a dedicated mobile line, Klero provides a business number via Twilio.
    Achievements:

    • Complete product architecture: Symfony backend, back-office, infrastructure
    • Twilio telephony integration: provisioning of business numbers, call routing, SMS sending, webhooks
    • AI pipeline: automatic qualification of requests, transcription of voice messages
    • Complete lead management and configuration back-office
    • Real-time notification system to professionals

    What this project demonstrates: ability to design a SaaS from end to end - from architectural choices to third-party API integrations, up to production deployment.
    Environment: Symfony, PHP, PostgreSQL, Vue.js, Twilio, Docker
    Product developed in parallel with client assignments.

Excellent service delivered very quickly. We were in continuous contact to deal with an emergency: our host had migrated to PHP8 and our WordPress sites were no longer working. Pablo was responsive and very competent. Recommended for his seriousness and expertise.

Pablo assists us in the web development of our SaaS software. We work together on several topics: tool architecture, adding new features, and improving existing ones. What we particularly appreciate are his technical and very advanced skills in several languages, as well as his ability to understand our business and thus have a medium-to-long-term vision in the technical choices we make together. I recommend this freelancer 100%.
