I'm a seasoned backend developer with over two decades of hands-on experience building and maintaining web systems for companies of all sizes — from agile startups to large-scale enterprises.

My core focus is clean, maintainable backend architecture: PHP-driven APIs, MySQL database design, object-oriented programming, MVC patterns, and backoffice management systems that run reliably day after day.

I'm equally comfortable jumping into client-side work, integrating third-party REST APIs, or writing one-off data migration scripts — whatever the task demands.
