Hi, I’m Adri Kolaj. I’m a Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead currently working remotely with Wonderful Italy, guiding a transition from a legacy PHP (Symfony) monolith on AWS to a modern Python-based Backend-for-Frontend architecture, with a strong focus on code quality, stability, and reliable delivery. I bring hands-on experience across full-stack development (PHP, Python, JavaScript), cloud infrastructure, and AI-driven automation. I’ve led large migrations to MongoDB, built data-driven invoicing solutions, and helped teams improve performance and customer satisfaction while collaborating closely with CTOs and care teams.
