Summary
👤
SeniorIlya Rostopka is a Senior Back End Developer based in Amsterdam with nearly a decade of professional experience building and hardening backend systems across agencies and product teams. He specializes in PHP ecosystems (Symfony, Laravel) and relational databases but is language-agnostic and embraces modern practices like TDD, static analysis, and domain-driven/hexagonal architecture. Ilya has a strong track record of refactoring monoliths into clearer domains, designing APIs and microservices, and introducing tooling that reduces bugs and improves maintainability. He pairs hands-on implementation with mentoring—leading knowledge-sharing, pair and mob programming—and routinely uses observability tools (Sentry, NewRelic) to troubleshoot production issues. Outside of product teams he has delivered bespoke solutions from LMS platforms to real-time esports features, showing a pragmatic balance of architectural thinking and shipping value.
