I have been working in web development, particularly backend-focused PHP development, since the early 2000s. During my career, I have worked both in smaller business environments and on largescale enterprise and multinational projects, where I participated in the development and maintenance of systems with complex business logic. In recent years, I have mainly worked on Magento-based, high-traffic and complex e-commerce platforms for international projects. My responsibilities included developing custom modules, extending and maintaining existing systems, as well as implementing complete backend solutions for full-scale projects. In my most recent projects, I also worked in Symfony-based environments, while gaining frontend development experience using Vue.js. Throughout my work, I have always considered writing structured, maintainable, and testable code to be essential. I have written unit tests in multiple projects, regularly worked with version control systems, and actively participated in technical discussions and code review processes as part of development teams. In addition to backend development, I occasionally work on frontend-related tasks as well, mainly involving CSS and smaller UI/frontend fine-tuning tasks. I am open to modern architectural approaches and continuously expanding my knowledge of new technologies.
