Summary

Senior backend engineer with five years of production experience in PHP, Go and Python. I care about performance, simple architecture and developer productivity, and I have been building AI-assisted development workflows since 2025.

Experience

  1. Present

    Senior Backend Developer (PHP), FameUp

    Remote, Romania

    • Built an agentic bug-fixing pipeline: bugs reported in Slack are picked up, fixed and tested by an agent; developers only review and merge.
    • Cut network traffic by 95% by moving image delivery from S3 to Cloudflare Images: every image is resized on the fly to the exact format the mobile apps or the backend ask for, cached with targeted invalidation, and served from Cloudflare’s global CDN.
    • Improved CI/CD for agentic development: automatic deployment on merge, parallel tests, PHPStan at max level and AI code review.
    • Wrote agent skills that set a shared standard for AI-assisted development across the team.
    • Delivered creator referrals, gamification and barter collaborations.

  2. Senior Backend Developer (PHP, Go & Python), freshful.ro (eMAG)

    Remote, Romania

    • Cut pipeline runtime by almost 50% with parallel tests, fixture-based test databases and isolated Elasticsearch indexes.
    • Built DSO (Driver Shift Optimization), an OR-Tools service in Python and Go that lowered delivery costs by 37%.
    • Led technical analysis for large projects and acted as backend owner for OTP verification, vouchers and promotions.
    • Improved response times with New Relic profiling and fixed critical performance bugs.
    • Worked across AWS, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, Redis, RabbitMQ and Elasticsearch.

  3. PHP Developer, NetRom Software

    Craiova and Timișoara, Romania

    • Developed and maintained high-traffic PHP applications.
    • Built internal REST microservices in Node.js.
    • Integrated third-party APIs and reduced response times of core flows.
    • Worked directly with the client on requirements and technical guidance.
