Core expertise

Where I can add value quickly

I do not sell standard packages. I work on technical problems that require backend experience, understanding of existing systems and reliable integration with the rest of the business.

Magento 2 Development & Modernization

Custom modules, Magento and PHP upgrades, Magento 1 → 2 migrations, checkout and payment integrations, production troubleshooting and maintenance.

API & ERP Integrations

Product, stock, customer and order synchronization; integrations with ERP, PIM, business management systems, payment gateways and external services via REST APIs and scheduled processes.

PHP / Laravel Backend Development

Custom business applications, APIs, CRM and management systems, evolution of existing codebases and progressive modernization of legacy PHP applications.

Migrations & Troubleshooting

Analysis of existing platforms, framework and runtime upgrades, data migrations, diagnosis of production issues and intervention on systems already in operation.

Selected work

Recent projects and technical work

A few examples of the type of work I handle: real production systems, integrations and migrations rather than greenfield demos.

Migration of catalog, customers, orders and configuration, including product attributes, theme and extension adjustments and final production validation.

Technical work on an existing Shopify store covering theme JS/CSS, CLS reduction, missing resources, broken links, bulk redirects and pagination canonicals.

Offline-capable catalog, cart, promotions and order collection using IndexedDB, with deferred synchronization when connectivity returns.

External proof

Extensions published on Adobe Commerce Marketplace

I have developed and published Magento extensions on Adobe's official marketplace, including a Spoki API integration for cash-on-delivery order confirmation workflows.

AI-ASSISTED SOFTWARE

ReplyAgent — white-label email copilot

A white-label service for email classification, draft generation and approval-based sending: a concrete example of integrating AI components into an application workflow.
