Юрий Павлов

I am a senior PHP/Laravel backend developer with 11+ years of experience in IT, including QA, team leadership and production backend development.

My main focus is building business applications, SaaS products, admin panels, REST APIs and backend systems with complex business logic. I have worked on production products with hundreds of thousands of users, multiple European domains, integrations, payment systems, analytics, monitoring and internal admin tools.

Core experience:

• PHP / Laravel backend development
• REST API design and implementation
• MySQL / PostgreSQL database design
• Admin panels and internal business tools
• User roles, permissions and access control
• File uploads, exports and document-related workflows
• Payment integrations, including Stripe
• Queues, caching, Redis and background jobs
• Logging, monitoring and production support
• Swagger / API documentation
• Data exports, statistics and reporting
• GDPR-aware workflows and personal data handling

I also have experience as a Team Lead: planning tasks, reviewing code, communicating with clients and stakeholders, helping developers, and keeping the project moving without unnecessary chaos.

I prefer clear communication, realistic estimates and step-by-step delivery. I do not like overpromising just to win a project. If a product is large, I usually suggest starting with a strong MVP, validating the core logic first, and then expanding it with additional modules.
