Skills

Backend first, everything else supports it.

For more than 15 years, my work has been defined first and foremost by PHP, Symfony, Drupal, business web applications, APIs and continuous maintenance. The rest of my experience complements that core, but does not define it at the same level.

Core expertise

What truly defines my profile

I mainly work on understanding, taking over and evolving business web applications already in production.

PHP, Symfony, Drupal

This is the most stable part of my background: backend development, code architecture and the evolution of existing systems.

Business web applications

I work on tools that support real business activity: internal platforms, CMSs, specific systems and business logic.

APIs and integrations

I design and maintain exchanges between services, third-party systems and internal applications.

Continuous maintenance

Project takeovers, stabilization, targeted refactoring and progressive evolution without unnecessary rewrites.

Summary

Backend first, everything else in support

My core work is PHP, Symfony, Drupal, business web applications, APIs, continuous maintenance and existing project takeovers.

Around that core, I regularly use the tools that help deliver, operate and improve applications over time: data stores, Git, Docker, CI/CD, automated testing, refactoring and production analysis.

I also work with a mindset built on analysis, pragmatism, collaboration and knowledge sharing, so a team can evolve what already exists without losing sight of the business.
