Vetted PHP developer in the Philippines (UTC+8)

I'm a geek and an entrepreneur that takes pride in solving tasks elegantly within set limitations. I have had my own share of achievements and challenges with my own businesses and projects in my 16+ years as a developer. I love working with others and sharing and expanding my knowledge, which is why I'm excited to share my expertise as a mentor, colleague or consultant on your project. /**  * Technologies I work with but not limited to.  * @return a well-equipped toolbox  */ - PHP (all versions), expert level (I write PSR-2 style) - JavaScript in multiple flavors (ES6, TypeScript, CoffeeScript, etc), expert level - In varying degrees: Go, Python, Java, Elm, Elixir. I can switch between languages and language styles, and explicitly make use of design patterns - Frameworks that I use but am not limited to: Laravel; Vue.js, React, Angular 1+2, and Knockout.js. I quickly adapt to a new framework as I am able to quickly grasp the key concepts and I usually go directly to reading the code. - Databases and servers locally and in the cloud. I've done a lot of DevOps with AWS, Digital Ocean, etc. Tools: Ansible, Docker, Terraform, MySQL, MongoDB, etc. - I predominantly use Linux-based environments and I am an avid Vim user. I contribute to the open-source community (publish and make PRs) and in general, I'm visible on developer communities on Slack, Gitter, Stack Overflow, etc. I mastered in dynamic and open narratives in multi-player/agent games—a subject I still find use for in other work in terms of first order logic, automatons, and the formalization of information knowledge. I've worked remotely for over 9 years now and I’m well aware of the challenges and advantages of not being in the same office or time zone as that of my clients. The key points are clarity of communication and that the distance forces you to explicitly think through what your goals and requirements are. /**  * Why you should work with me.  * @return high-quality delivery  */ - I write elegant and efficient code. I believe in concise and readable code over documentation. - I take pride in delivering solid work and I naturally develop a sense of ownership. Thus, when your project succeeds, it will be a success for me as well. - I am honest about expectations. Software estimates are hard. Several smaller deliveries are better than a monstrous roll-out that might never take place due to lack of funds or lost opportunity. - I am currently based in Manila, Philippines (GMT +8) but I can easily adapt my schedule to yours and come up with a suitable working arrangement with you as my client. https://www.codeboutique.com

Why hire a PHP developer?

PHP is a widely used scripting language that is commonly employed in web development. It is an open-source technology that is utilized to build dynamic websites and web applications, and is compatible with all major operating systems. PHP is a versatile and efficient language that is popular among developers due to its ease of use, flexibility, and performance.

One of the primary benefits of PHP is its speed. As a scripting language, it can quickly process code and is capable of handling large amounts of data. Additionally, it has a wide range of built-in functions that make it easy for developers to create complex applications with minimal effort.

PHP developers possess a broad range of expertise, including front-end development, server-side programming, database design, and web application architecture. They are familiar with a variety of tools and frameworks, such as Laravel, Symfony, and CodeIgniter, that help them to create efficient, scalable, and secure applications.

Many companies choose to hire PHP developers due to the popularity of this technology. PHP is widely used by companies of all sizes, including Facebook, Wikipedia, and Slack.

How do I hire PHP developers?

Now, because PHP is an extremely versatile language, you need to define what you want your PHP developer to do. PHP developers can use the language to create code modules, websites, and web apps. Among these, blogs, forums, e-commerce sites, and online apps are all examples of what a PHP developer for hire can do.

As PHP is extremely beginner-friendly, sometimes junior PHP developers may write sloppy spaghetti code. The lack of style and strong development process in PHP are what gives PHP a bad reputation. With that said, a strong PHP developer should have a good handle of PHP syntax and its core functions.

Here are some job responsibilities you might include in the job description when you’re looking for a PHP developer for hire:

  • Conducting analysis of website and application requirements.
  • Writing back-end code and building efficient PHP modules.
  • Developing back-end portals with an optimized database.
  • Troubleshooting application and code issues.
  • Integrating data storage solutions.
  • Responding to integration requests from front-end developers.
  • Finalizing back-end features and testing web applications.
  • Updating and altering application features to enhance performance.

To make the best hiring decision, make sure you assess both hard and soft skills. Along with technical expertise, soft skills such as collaboration, attention to detail, and problem-solving are crucial. Hop on over to our PHP Developer Hiring Guide for more information on how to hire PHP developers.

What skills should I look for in a PHP engineer?

A proficient PHP developer should have a diverse set of skills that include proficiency in web development languages, familiarity with PHP frameworks, expertise in database languages, knowledge of web servers, and experience with content management systems (CMS).

Firstly, a good PHP developer should have a good grasp of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as these languages are fundamental to website creation. Secondly, it is essential for PHP developers to have knowledge of PHP frameworks that enhance productivity and accuracy when coding PHP applications. Finally, as PHP developers frequently use PHP to create, update, and maintain databases, it is critical that they understand database languages and best practices.

Knowledge of web servers, a component of full-stack programming expertise, is also crucial in a proficient PHP developer. Experience and knowledge with web servers will allow them to take a comprehensive approach to web development and gain server-side PHP experience.

As many content management systems (CMS) are built with PHP, having knowledge of CMS is beneficial. Creating and maintaining customized applications using CMS can streamline a company's content management processes, and developing responsive plug-ins can be an added advantage.

In addition to the skills highlighted above, some other skills you may want to vet for when you hire a PHP developer include their familiarity with version control, data cleaning, database design, APIs, and model-view-controller architecture.
