About Candidate
Full-Stack Developer with over 4 years of hands-on experience designing and implementing high-performance web applications. He specializes in modern JavaScript frameworks (Nuxt 3, Vue 3), builds robust RESTful services in PHP (CodeIgniter, Laravel) and Node.js (Express), and automates delivery pipelines with Docker and CI/CD. Throughout his career, he has led cross-functional teams, mentored junior engineers, and driven performance and SEO optimizations that boosted page load times by up to 50 %. His key strengths lie in end-to-end architecture, seamless DevOps integration and rapid prototyping. Eager to tackle microservices, serverless architectures and real-time data platforms, he is committed to continuous learning and delivering scalable, maintainable solutions.

Work & Experience
• Working on a legacy/evolving platform built on Yii2 (backend) and Nuxt 3 / Vue 3 (frontend), structured as
a monorepo with an architecture similar to WordPress — where the site is assembled dynamically from Nuxt components. • Maintaining and extending the monorepo codebase, ensuring backward compatibility while migrating legacy modules
to modern standards.
• Developing reusable Nuxt 3 components used as CMS-style building blocks for flexible page construction.
• Implementing new features across the full stack: Yii2 API endpoints, Vue 3 composables, and server-side rendering with Nuxt 3.
• Collaborating in a cross-functional team using Git (GitLab) — following a feature-branch workflow with merge requests, code reviews, and structured commit conventions to maintain a clean and traceable project history.
• Performing code reviews, refactoring legacy PHP code, and improving system architecture for maintainability
and scalability.
• Designing and building SPA/SSR interfaces with Nuxt 3, Vue 3, and Quasar, including component library implementation, dynamic routing, and SEO optimization.
• Designing and developing scalable RESTful APIs in PHP (CodeIgniter 4) and Node.js (Express), integrating with MariaDB/MySQL/MongoDB and external services.
• Developed an automated trading bot with a full-featured admin panel — the system actively generates results in live trading environments, built with Node.js, WebSocket, and Vue 3.
• Containerizing applications using Docker, maintaining consistent development, testing, and production environments.
• Implementing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines), automating linting, testing, building,
and zero-downtime deployments.
• Collaborating with UX/UI designers, QA, and DevOps teams to deliver performant features on time and in line with SLAs. • Monitoring application health and performance, resolving production incidents, and rolling out hotfixes to ensure 99.9% availability.
• Mentoring junior developers through pair programming, code reviews, and best-practice workshops.
