About Petr
I help companies build robust, scalable backend systems that power their products and internal operations — from clean API design to complex integrations and CI/CD pipelines.
With 10+ years of hands-on Symfony and PHP development, I bring senior-level expertise across the full project lifecycle: requirements analysis, solution architecture, development and deployment. I've delivered for enterprise clients like Vodafone and Škoda Auto as well as fast-moving product companies.
What sets me apart is my ability to own the problem end-to-end. I don't just write code — I analyse the business challenge first, propose the right solution and take it through to production. I'm equally comfortable joining an existing team or working independently as the sole backend developer on a project.
I also work with AI as a core part of my development process. I use Claude (Anthropic) daily — for architectural reasoning, code review, documentation and problem-solving. This isn't about shortcuts; it's about bringing sharper thinking and faster delivery to every engagement.
Typical projects I take on: backend systems and internal tools, REST/GraphQL API development, Symfony application architecture, legacy codebase modernisation, e-commerce platforms and third-party integrations.
Available for full-remote B2B engagements. Let's talk.
