laravel-query-filter

Convention-based query filtering for Laravel — the method name maps to the filter key, with defaults and fallbacks. A lean alternative to Spatie's query-builder.

Multi-stage Alpine PHP-FPM images (7.4–8.4) with gRPC compiled from source. CI builds and pushes every version; the README syncs itself to Docker Hub.

experience

Smartblax

May 2025 — Feb 2026
tech lead · backend & devops

Led six engineers on the Ucell trading platform. Containerized the Laravel monolith (multi-stage Alpine, ~60% smaller images) and began its decomposition. Directed the DevOps team on GitLab CI/CD — 15 minutes from commit to production — and Prometheus/Grafana monitoring.

Arvis Group

Oct 2021 — Apr 2025
senior backend developer

Owned full business modules on a broker and trading platform: 50k+ active users, 100k+ transactions per day, sub-200ms latency. Built real-time quotes over WebSocket, optimized SQL by ~250%, and cut deploy time from two hours to five minutes and production bugs by ~70%.

Oik Group

Feb 2020 — Sep 2021
founder & lead developer

Founded and ran the engineering side of three product startups — hired and led the teams, set up CI/CD and Linux infrastructure, and shipped products from MVP to launch in PHP and Go.
