Summary
Aris Stru is a seasoned back-end developer and software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable web applications, APIs, and AI-driven systems. Trained in Informatics and Telematics and with academic exposure to swarm intelligence, he blends rigorous algorithmic thinking with practical full-stack delivery across PHP frameworks like Symfony and Laravel. His work spans NGO research at SciFY to startup logistics optimization and recent applied AI projects, notably a smart-hotel prototype that gives an LLM a โbodyโ by integrating GPT-3.5 with HomeAssistant and IoT devices. A Linux enthusiast and open-source advocate, he favours correctness, modularity, and maintainable abstractions while automating business workflows and integrating diverse services (Zapier, Gmail, Google APIs, door access systems). Comfortable owning projects end-to-end, heโs equally at home solving knapsack-style optimization problems as architecting production APIs for e-commerce and B2B synchronization.
