Hello! My name is Vitalii Chebotnikov. I am PHP/Laravel Backend Engineer with 8+ years of experience building and maintaining web applications, APIs and third-party integrations. My core expertise is backend development with PHP and Laravel: designing API-first services, integrating CRM, payment providers and external systems, and supporting the full lifecycle of a product—from new features and architecture to deployment and production support. I have hands-on experience with Zoho CRM and Zoho Desk integrations, Telegram Bot API, asynchronous processing with Laravel Jobs and Google Cloud Tasks, REST APIs, Redis, Elasticsearch, MySQL, Docker and CI/CD pipelines. I have also worked with Google Cloud Platform, including App Engine, Cloud Build, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage and Secret Manager. I am comfortable working with existing and legacy codebases, improving performance, implementing complex business logic and solving non-standard technical problems. I also have experience with Vue.js, JavaScript, HTML/CSS and collaborating with frontend teams. I am looking for a long-term role where I can contribute as a backend, integrations or platform engineer in a product-focused team. I from Kherson, my current location is Kyiv (Ukraine)
