Summary

I've amassed over a decade of experience as a Backend Developer and Team Lead.

I have a strong knowledge of PHP, OOP, and identifying and implementing most common design patterns. Additionally, I have expertise in search engines like Sphinx and Elasticsearch, encompassing search with morphology, handling typos, inaccurate phrases, executing multiple combined queries, utilizing trigram indexing, and implementing faceted search, etc. I have an enormous craving for further professional growth.
