Benoit Borrel is a seasoned software engineer with over 15 years building high-performance web applications and APIs, specializing in PHP, Symfony, Drupal and modern JavaScript stacks. He has a strong track record delivering complex projects across healthcare, finance, logistics and telecoms—often leading migrations, performance optimizations and security remediations for mission-critical systems. Comfortable across the full lifecycle, Benoit combines hands-on coding, DevOps (Docker, CI/CD) and architecture for scalable microservices and CMS-driven sites. He mentors distributed teams, introduced formal code review and deployment processes that measurably improved productivity, and has repeatedly reduced page load times and search indexing gaps in large sites. Bilingual French/English and based in Montreal, he pairs academic credentials in engineering with a pragmatic focus on maintainability and automation. Notably, he has experience modernizing legacy PHP stacks to Symfony/PHP8 while preserving business continuity in production environments.
