Technical Lead β’ Symfony/Laravel Developer
I have worked in PHP development for 15+ years, from hands-on application work to leading teams of five or six engineers. My recent work includes Symfony and Laravel systems, legacy refactoring, API and database performance, automated testing, and CI/CD.
I started as a PHP developer in India and later worked in Malaysia and Singapore before returning to Hyderabad. Across 10 organizations, I have worked in product teams, agencies, and a short-term contract role. That includes the iPrice catalog platform, client projects at LizardApps and MilliPixels, and healthcare software at BroadWeb and NB HealthCare Technologies. Over time, my responsibilities expanded from application development to architecture, code reviews, and mentoring.
Code reviews, shared standards, and design patterns are part of how I keep existing systems maintainable.
I introduced code review and CI/CD practices to make changes easier to check and release.
My role includes day-to-day technical direction, implementation reviews, and developer mentoring.
I investigate application and database issues, then work through the implementation with the team.
