As a Lead and Senior Magento Developer with over 10 years of professional experience, I have a deep expertise in all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), with a focus on web-based applications. My experience includes developing robust web applications using PHP 5/7/8, Magento 1 & 2, and the LAMP/WAMP stacks, as well as front-end technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery.

In my current role, I am responsible for gathering requirements from business and product teams, and facilitating discussions with fellow developers to ensure project understanding and accurate estimations. I serve as the primary liaison with business teams, maintaining open communication channels for queries related to Magento functionalities and site-level clarifications. I am actively involved in architectural discussions for the full digital system, including ERP integration and various marketing integrations (Fospha, Bloomreach, VWO, Yetpo, GA), as well as reporting systems like fulfillment and cancellation.

I am accountable for code reviews and deployments of all development work, managing parts of the infrastructure, and liaising with the Adobe support team for infrastructural service issues or changes. My experience extends to developing and deploying web applications with MVC frameworks such as Laravel and CodeIgniter, and I am well-versed in Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), developing and consuming Web Services using REST, SOAP, XML, WSDL, and GraphQL.

I have a strong background in implementing third-party connections via API, and using version control systems like Git and SVN. I am also experienced with package managers such as Composer and NPM. My working knowledge includes using Software Development Methodologies like Waterfall and Agile, and database development with MySQL and MariaDB. I have excellent experience working in LAMP environments and am familiar with tools like JIRA, Bitbucket, Acumatica ERP, Emarsys, and various code review tools.
