Summary
Anton Gorlanov is a Lead PHP Developer based in Cyprus with over a decade of experience delivering and scaling backend systems, specializing in PHP (Symfony, Yii) and robust CI/CD automation. He combines a product-first mindset with pragmatic engineering, consistently refactoring legacy code, decoupling concerns, and applying principles like SOLID and Clean Architecture to improve maintainability and business value.

A hands-on mentor, he leads small backend teams while preserving delivery predictability through standards, code review, and documentation practices. Beyond typical engineering KPIs, he brings a systems-thinking approach that treats development metrics as first-class products to optimize how teams work.
