Hi, I'm Tim Mulhearn, a backend PHP developer with over 10 years of commercial experience building backend systems, APIs and custom business logic in PHP environments. I have extensive experience in backend architecture, custom module development, API integrations and long-term platform support within Drupal (versions 7-11). I'm currently transitioning into Laravel and broader PHP backend development, seeking opportunities to apply my established backend engineering experience in Laravel-focused backend roles. I'm proactive and collaborative, having led migrations from Kentico to Drupal, built backend Drupal admin platforms, and delivered secure, scalable web applications for clients across the UK, Malaysia and beyond. I enjoy pair programming, design discussions and delivering robust solutions on time. I’m excited to continue growing my Laravel-focused backend capabilities and contribute to high-quality projects.
