Notes from the codebase.
Practical write-ups on full-stack development - PHP & Symfony, Node.js, React, performance tuning, and the DevOps that ties it all together.
Lessons from real projects.
I write the kind of posts I wish I had found earlier - practical, specific, and grounded in shipping production software. No filler, no recycled tutorials: just what actually worked on real client projects, with the numbers to back it up.
Backend & architecture
Designing maintainable systems in PHP (Symfony, Laravel) and Node.js - structure, patterns, and trade-offs.
Performance
Database indexing, caching, and front-end optimization that take pages under one second and lift Core Web Vitals.
APIs & integrations
Clean, well-typed REST APIs and reliable connections between systems that stay easy to maintain.
DevOps
Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines for releases that are predictable, reversible, and low-effort.
E-Commerce
Building and extending shops on PrestaShop and Shopware - custom modules and upgrade-safe code.
Frontend & tooling
Responsive UIs with SCSS, Bootstrap, React, and a build pipeline that scales with the project.
