Vetted PHP Professionals

“Paid media/demand gen marketer who owned a $50K/month multi-brand budget (five business units) across Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads. Ran structured A/B tests and made fast budget reallocations based on benchmarks (CTR/CPL/lead quality), and diagnoses performance declines via funnel and saturation analysis (frequency/overlap) to stabilize CPAs and restore volume.”

“Growth marketer focused on the creator/UGC ecosystem (TikTok/Instagram), sourcing and scaling performance-based creator partnerships for DTC/e-commerce brands. Uses rigorous attribution and funnel-stage creative testing to optimize paid social, including a GTM initiative that cut CPA by 25% while maintaining contribution margins.”

“Frontend engineer who led the end-to-end UI for an internal employee catalog tool at Genetec, building React/TypeScript dashboards with complex search filters. Emphasizes tight product-owner feedback loops (weekly demos), Figma-based design alignment, and disciplined delivery practices using CI/CD, automated tests, and version tagging for rollouts/reverts.”

“Frontend engineer with hands-on experience leading architecture and quality practices for React/Angular apps, including design system selection, code review/branching workflows, and Jest-based unit testing with a 100% coverage target. Built a React + TypeScript financial tool using Zustand/React-Redux, improved performance via lazy loading, and implemented input-sanitization utilities. Has managed fast-paced releases with Rally-based defect tracking and resolved a production deployment issue via rollback and YAML configuration fixes.”

“Built and owned a hackathon project (Gritto) with a Python/FastAPI backend that routes user text through a sequence of Gemini agents to produce structured JSON outputs. Has hands-on production deployment experience using Docker/Docker Compose, GitHub Actions CI/CD, AWS App Runner, MongoDB, and secrets management (Doppler + migration to AWS Secrets Manager), plus implemented a chat-like experience via multiple HTTP requests when SSE wasn’t viable.”

“Serial entrepreneur since leaving corporate in 2009, working largely for equity on multiple startups. Building (1) academically rigorous, anti-overfitting quant/backtesting tools for retail investors (with potential applicability to smaller hedge funds lacking quant staff) and (2) a partner-led “social-as-a-service” platform for verticals like real estate/PropTech (including FSBO use cases) focused on first-party data capture vs. big tech.”

“Technology leader focused on business-aligned roadmaps and integration-heavy ecommerce platforms. Recently delivered an on-time launch for lutusooking.com (a premium Hamilton Beach brand) by coordinating UX/UI, component-based middleware, BigCommerce, Algolia search, personalization/recommendations, payments, and supply chain integrations, and later improved scalability via a Jitterbit iPaaS approach proven during Black Friday/Cyber Monday traffic.”

“Software engineer who built and owned a centralized Asset Management platform at Hyundai Mobis used daily by multiple internal teams, delivering everything from UI/TypeScript React frontend to Spring Boot services, databases, deployment, and post-release support. Experienced in scaling microservices with Kafka-based async workflows, improving data consistency/real-time updates, and implementing reliability patterns like standardized API contracts, retries, DLQs, and targeted caching.”

“Frontend engineer who has led end-to-end builds for Toronto Insights properties, including a City Council voting records site and a business directory dashboard. Uses React/Next.js with TypeScript and Tailwind, sets up CI quality gates with GitHub Actions, and optimizes performance via Next.js caching and server components while collaborating closely with designers to translate Figma into polished, responsive UI.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who ships AI-enabled products end-to-end: built CodeChat, a production internal codebase Q&A tool using RAG with Pinecone and a model-agnostic wrapper across OpenAI/Anthropic/AWS Bedrock, cutting AWS costs ~50% and latency ~45%. Also built and operated RealityStream, a Flask-based real-time forecasting API with JWT/RBAC, MLflow model versioning, and Prometheus/Grafana observability, including handling a real production latency incident via rollback, preloading, and caching.”

“Built and maintained a Node.js backend for a restaurant recommendation project that became widely reused by other students, effectively acting like an internal open-source library. Refactored a messy filtering system into modular query/validation/pagination utilities, added tests, and upgraded docs (JSDoc, README, demo app) to reduce repeat issues and make contributions easier. Comfortable owning end-to-end improvements (design, performance, documentation, and support) in unstructured environments.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer with logistics domain experience (DHL) who shipped a real-time shipment status update system using Spring Boot + Kafka and a performance-tuned PostgreSQL tracking schema. Also has AWS production operations experience (ECS/Kubernetes, Jenkins CI/CD, Terraform/Ansible) and has handled peak-load incidents end-to-end by tracing Kafka lag to database bottlenecks and resolving via query/index optimization plus scaling.”

“Full-stack/backend engineer with deep insurance claims domain experience who built and operated a microservices + ETL platform (Java/Spring Boot + Python + Kafka/Databricks) processing 1M+ daily transactions. Combines production-grade reliability (99.7% uptime, zero-downtime blue/green releases, strong observability) with customer-facing UI delivery (AngularJS/React+TS dashboards and a hackathon-winning research chatbot).”
