Available to hire
Hi, I’m Francisc Boicu, a passionate PHP developer with over 16 years of experience working with Laravel and software architecture.
I enjoy building prototypes and building them fast. I really like the “fail fast” methodology, but I also enjoy building robust and efficient applications using modern technologies like Laravel Livewire and microservices architecture. I thrive in calm, steady environments where trust and honest feedback drive improvement.
Besides programming, I’m also a semi-amateur part-time musician, sharing my tracks on SoundCloud. I believe empowering people and fostering collaboration help everyone perform at their best, and I always aim to deliver maintainable, high-quality code while mentoring others along the way.
