SUMMARY (OBJECTIVE)
PHP backend developer (6+ years) who automates the development process itself: builds AI tooling
(custom MCP servers) that turns months of routine work into weeks and delivers measurable results on
every project — fraud rate 15% → 0, PageSpeed 25 → ~100, brand deployment 4 h → 15 min. Most
recent project: a Laravel 11 lead-processing backend (queues, events, OAuth2, Pest tests) with an
anti-fraud integration. 2.5 years of tech lead experience. Seeking a backend role with complex logic and
high-load challenges.

SKILLS
Backend: PHP 8, Laravel 11, WordPress (custom), REST API, OOP / SOLID, queues (Laravel Queues, Jobs)
Databases & cache: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis
Integrations: payment systems, anti-fraud, Zoho CRM, Google APIs (Sheets, Maps, Calendar), reCAPTCHA
v3, Telegram Bot API, OTP, XML (parsing, import/export)
Full-stack: NestJS, Next.js, React, TypeScript, Prisma ORM
Tools: Git, nginx, Apache (.htaccess), Kubernetes, JWT / OAuth2, Pest / PHPUnit, Grafana (monitoring
dashboards), Claude, Cursor, custom MCP servers
Process: Agile (Scrum, Kanban), Waterfall

EXPERIENCE
PHP & Full-Stack Developer / Tech Lead — WizardsDev (Global Cloud Team)
Kyiv, Ukraine (Remote) · 06/2020 – 07/2026
• Developed key subsystems of a Laravel 11 lead-processing backend (Filament 3, queued Jobs, Events,
OAuth2 via Passport, Pest tests): built the anti-fraud integration with Google Sheets export — fraudulent
leads dropped from 15% to 0 with no impact on conversion
• Implemented multi-layer spam protection (server-side reCAPTCHA v3, OTP verification via Telegram Bot
API): eliminated spam-driven server outages — previously 1–3 incidents per week with SMTP bans
• Integrated payment platforms, Zoho CRM (Web-to-Lead), and Google Sheets / Maps / Calendar APIs —
auth flows, error handling, data normalization
• Performance optimization: Redis caching and MySQL query tuning — Google PageSpeed improved from 25
to ~100 (all Core Web Vitals in the green) on production sites
• Built landing deployment automation (Node.js, MCP server): new-brand launch time cut from 4 hours to
15 minutes with existing designs and from 3 days to 4–6 hours for from-scratch designs
• Created a WordPress SEO-automation MCP server: full SEO-checklist optimization reduced from 3 months
to 2 weeks
• 2.5 years as Tech Lead: teams of 3–6 developers alongside 2 PMs and 3 QA engineers — architecture,
task planning, code review; led an external project end-to-end from architecture to deployment
• Maintained and SEO-optimized a content site with 76,000+ posts; built multilingual backends supporting
5+ languages (Polylang, custom plugins)
• WordPress development for 6+ production projects (fintech, SaaS, e-commerce): custom plugins
(reCAPTCHA forms, SEO plugin), WooCommerce pricing synced with Google Sheets, user account areas

code reviews and Git-based workflows

PROJECTS
Tymo — SaaS Booking Platform (personal project)
2025 – Present
• Independently designed and shipped a production-grade REST API: NestJS + PostgreSQL (Prisma), JWT
auth (httpOnly cookies), Google Calendar OAuth, role-based access control, soft-deletion patterns
