About

Hi there! I’m Fabian Chesler, a senior PHP and Magento expert with 20+ years building eCommerce platforms, scalable backend systems, and cloud deployments. I specialize in PHP 7/8, Magento 1 & 2, and DevOps, delivering secure, high-performance applications with a strong focus on reliability and maintainability.

I’m comfortable leading remote teams across B2B and B2C projects, mentoring developers on PHP standards, architecture, and modern deployment pipelines. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, Hebrew, and Portuguese, and I love collaborating with product and marketing teams to translate business goals into robust technical solutions that scale.
