About Davis Zalitis

Experienced Senior PHP and Symfony developer with about 13 years of experience in PHP and about 10 years of experience in Symfony (2.8 - 8.0) development. I do have Advanced certification for development in Symfony 6.People say that I live and breathe Symfony as over the years I have learned important aspects of framework, can help in non-standard situations, can help and teach others on best practices or best ways to achieve needed goal, can do upgrades from lower symfony versions to newer ones and if all previously listed isn't enough, I also have Symfony logo tattooed on my arm - that is how much I love and believe in Symfony development.I'm known as "ridiculously efficient" by colleagues, with an exceptional ability to juggle multiple projects. I've successfully built self-service teams and guided new team members with my deep understanding of the PHP and Symfony framework, making me a valuable asset to any organization.I regularly contribute to the Symfony ecosystem through open-source packages, contributions in Symfony github and as an active member of the Symfony community.I'm committed to crafting clean, maintainable code and future-proof solutions, even when it requires additional investment of time. I believe that technical debt compounds quickly, and I prioritize readability, testability, and adherence to Symfony best practices over quick fixes. This approach has consistently paid dividends for my teams through reduced bugs, easier onboarding, and more efficient feature development in the long run. My experience has shown that an extra day spent on architecture today can save weeks of refactoring tomorrow.
