Let’s build your backend

How to start a conversation

I am a backend software engineer based in Como, Italy. If you have an API to design, an integration to connect, a data-driven web application to build or a legacy system to modernize, write to me by email or on LinkedIn and describe the problem in a few sentences.

A useful first message says what the system does today, what you want to change and where the data comes from. I work mainly with PHP, Laravel and Symfony, REST APIs, MySQL and PostgreSQL, so that context helps me tell you whether I can help. If something is unclear, say so: I would rather ask a question than guess.

My approach is the same on every project: clear boundaries between business logic, infrastructure, APIs and user interfaces, useful errors instead of silent failures, tests that protect important behaviour, and security and access control designed in from the start.

I speak Albanian natively and work professionally in English, with limited working proficiency in Italian, so English is the best language for a first message. You can also build on my independent work: Malesoret, which I co-founded with Emiljano Deda, and its product Ssignal.
