Ion Bazan
Senior Software Developer
I am a Singapore-based Lead Software Developer who is passionate about good practices, clean code and containerized scalable environments.
With over 6 years of experience in PHP & Symfony and 4 in Laravel and Docker, I have a deep understanding of frameworks' internals and I love writing domain-oriented and framework-agnostic code that is easy to test, port and refactor.
I am contributing to several Open-Source projects and released a few packages that are used by other developers.
