Full-stack developer, PHP/Laravel + Vue, 3+ years in commercial development. I work remotely from the CET timezone — full overlap with European teams, half a day with the US East Coast. Open to roles in Ukraine, the EU, or contract work with international teams.

Currently building a B2B platform for brand–creator collaborations, solo. Laravel 12, Vue 3 (Composition API), MySQL, Redis, Pinia, Tailwind, Docker. I own the whole stack: database schema, REST API, escrow payments, real-time messaging, rate limiting, JWT auth, GDPR audit logging, Sentry. The part I'm proudest of isn't a feature — it's that after profiling and killing the N+1 queries, pages got 8-10x faster.

Before that, two years at 5BLUE Software on a healthcare platform in a distributed team of 9: an MVC admin panel and a REST API for patients. I joined as a frontend trainee and left as a mid-level full-stack developer. Patient flow from registration to appointments, a ClickHouse analytics dashboard, the Vue 2 → Vue 3 migration, RabbitMQ, AWS S3 and Secrets Manager, PHPUnit tests. Code reviews, sprints, mentoring juniors — all of it remote.

On the side I run my own product — a tax-filing service for the self-employed: Laravel + Vue + Inertia, multi-tenant, Docker on Hetzner, deploys through GitHub Actions with a test gate and automatic rollback, Sentry. It's where I make the architectural calls myself and live with them.

Earlier: 2 years of Unity/C# — a horror visual novel shipped on Steam, a Photon multiplayer strategy game, and a team of 11 people I organised.

Education: Drohobych Pedagogical University, Mathematics.

Languages: Ukrainian (native), English B1, German B1.

Looking for a Laravel/Vue role on a product team where people actually read each other's code and argue about decisions. Fully remote. Available for contract work and able to invoice. Available in 2 weeks .
