Available to hire
Hi, I’m Piero Recchia, a backend-focused PHP developer with more than 20 years of experience building robust web applications. I specialize in Symfony, API Platform, Doctrine, and PHP, and I frequently work with front-end technologies like React and Vue to deliver complete solutions. I enjoy designing scalable APIs, implementing design patterns, and driving API-centric platforms with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS.
I am a team player who stays calm under pressure and focuses on details. I value simple, reusable code, test-driven development, and mentoring teammates. I like collaborating with stakeholders to define architecture and roadmaps, and I continuously seek opportunities to improve processes and outcomes.
