Renaud Bourbotte

I am a backend PHP developer with over 8 years of experience in designing and evolving web platforms with strong technical constraints.

I have worked on various types of projects: payment platforms, high-traffic e-commerce, and complex websites. These environments have led me to development, architecture, performance, and reliability issues.

My expertise lies mainly within the PHP ecosystem, with strong experience in Drupal as well as Symfony in various professional contexts (payments, e-commerce, and web platforms).

I have notably worked on:

• Design of REST APIs and backend services

• Experimentation with GraphQL APIs with Drupal

• Use of Vue.js for internal and personal projects

• Integration of asynchronous systems (RabbitMQ, Symfony Messenger, Drupal queues)

• Management of application and HTTP caches

• Data indexing with Solr

• Implementation of automated tests and monitoring strategies

• Optimization of application performance and scalability.
