Senior🎓
Top SchoolChance Garcia is a Chief Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building and modernizing PHP web applications, frequently using Symfony, Composer, and Git to drive maintainable, scalable codebases. He specializes in backend architecture, deployment processes, and integrating third-party APIs, and has a track record of refactoring legacy apps, centralizing shared libraries, and improving UTF-8/document export handling. At Blue Burro he led migrations, AWS and CentOS/Plesk administration, created Linux daemons and CLI tools, and trained interns and junior developers in production workflows. Comfortable across the full stack, he pairs PHP expertise with JavaScript, MySQL, and frontend frameworks like ExtJS and NextJS to deliver end-to-end solutions. He’s active in process design—introducing release cycles, version control, and documentation at prior employers—and is working to become a more visible voice in the PHP/open-source community. Based in Bloomington, Indiana with a BS in Informatics, he often frames language learning as a short syntax exercise once core engineering principles are mastered.
