Summary
Anru Chen is a seasoned Senior PHP Programmer based in New Zealand with 11 years of hands-on experience building web and business-intelligence applications. He specializes in PHP ecosystems (Symfony, Zend, Laravel), MySQL, and JavaScript frameworks (Backbone, React, Angular) and is comfortable shipping containerized apps with Docker. His career spans agency, product and freelance work—designing REST APIs, Drupal/Silverstripe integrations, Magento/WordPress plugins and payment integrations—so he moves easily between legacy CMS migrations and modern API-first systems. Pragmatic and self-driven, he pairs deep backend expertise with front-end polish and CI automation (Jenkins, Composer, Phing), often owning projects end-to-end. A continuous learner, he’s built everything from MySQL clusters and load balancers to BI software at Ranqx, showing an uncommon blend of operations, integration and application-level skills.
