~/about
Back-end engineering, rooted in e-commerce
I’m a full stack developer with over 15 years of experience designing and building complex web applications. My focus is back-end development in PHP, with strong expertise in Symfony, clean code and design patterns for scalable, maintainable, testable software.
I work on application architecture, system integrations, APIs, data handling and performance. I apply patterns like CQRS and Event Sourcing when they add real value — never for fashion.
I have a long history in e-commerce and the PrestaShop ecosystem, where I’m an alumnus of the open source project: modules, themes, migrations and CRM/ERP integrations. I’ve worked with structured teams, agencies and international contexts, between Salerno and Paris.
