After four years at GetResponse it’s time for new opportunities! I am looking for a role related to #PHP, ideally in Developer Enablement context, but I am also open for alternatives. Read further for more details.

About me

I am software engineer with 15 years of professional experience in IT. For all these years I’ve been working mostly with #PHP, but I am not limited to that language, as I know - more or less - other ones. I am a conference speaker and #OSS contributor (maintainer of #PHP-CS-Fixer).

My strengths are:

  • attention to details
  • proactivity
  • open mind
  • continuous self-development
  • focus on quality
  • ability to work both as “free electron” and as team player
  • wide technical knowledge around languages, frameworks, libraries and tools

My weaknesses are:

  • excessive pedantry
  • inability to use keyboard with all fingers 😅

My past responsibilities

In the past, I’ve been working as a developer, tech leader, team leader (with technical responsibilities) and software architect. How the role is called does not matter that much for me, what I care is delivering value. I really enjoy being able to work in Developer Enablement context, which means:

  • Dockerization of projects, maintaining Dockerfile and Docker Compose stack
  • creating and maintaining QA and CI/CD processes
  • introducing, maintaining and upgrading tools and processes related to SDLC
  • designing and implementing common approaches for tackling architectural/development challenges
  • other things that can unlock faster and/or more friendly development for every developer, for which teams often don’t have time because of business deadlines

What this means in practice? Take a look here to see what I did in my first year at GetResponse. I loved working there and I can say with full conviction that it was very fruitful time of my career. I’ve learned new things, met great people, did a lot (around 560 merged MRs in company’s Gitlab, hundreds of code reviews). Unfortunately, everything comes to an end.

Looking for new opportunities

Most importantly, I am looking for a remote position. It’s crucial for me and my family. I don’t have a problem with being at the office from time to time, but I’ve spent so much time travelling to/from work in the past, that at this point I don’t want to waste time for this anymore. Especially that I am well self-organised and don’t have problems with motivation to work at home.

Technically speaking, I would love to continue work in exact same or really similar role to what I described above (Developer Enablement). It can be around PHP, but I am open for other opportunities, if company is willing to let me learn along the way ☺️.

Thanks for sharing!
