As a Laravel developer from Dec 2021 to Dec 2022, I utilized my expertise in PHP and the Laravel framework to develop a modular website from scratch, featuring a dynamic and responsive design supported by a custom content management system. To enhance the performance of the site, I integrated Redis for caching and implemented PHPUnit for thorough unit and feature testing. To ensure efficient error handling and notification processes, I implemented Sentry and integrated it with Slack. Additionally, I implemented extensive logic to work with APIs and effectively centralize and clean their responses. To improve the SEO of the site, I created sitemaps and schemas and implemented lazy loading and other deferring tactics for files, which significantly improved page speed.

As a PHP Developer from Dec 2020 to Dec 2021, I developed a centralized modular WordPress theme from scratch using PHP and WordPress. I implemented MVC (Model-View-Controller) logic and a structure inspired by Laravel, and integrated technologies such as Twig as a template engine, Tailwind as a CSS framework, and Alpine.js to replace jQuery. I also integrated ACF with chaining functions similar to those found in Laravel Nova. Through this project, I gained a strong understanding of object-oriented programming and other concepts such as contracts, interfaces, and actions. This project was a huge success, as it greatly reduced website development time and is now being used on multiple sites. I am proud of the impact this project had and am excited to continue developing innovative solutions in the field of web development.

During my internship at Zombie Soup June to September 2018, I actively contributed to the game development department. Engaging in two primary projects, namely "MindF*" and "Unendlichkeit," I delved into the realm of mobile game creation. MindF* marked my inaugural venture into mobile game development, designed to bewilder players through the strategic use of color, text, and sounds, creating an immersive and disorienting experience.
