Summary
Mihai Marica is a seasoned PHP developer with a decade of experience building and maintaining backend systems for medium-sized companies, currently contributing to Expert Software from Ploiești, Romania. He progressed from sole developer roles—where he built an online ordering platform handling hundreds of thousands of orders—to leading PHP teams at StreamWIDE, writing specs, training peers, and doing code reviews. Primarily focused on modern PHP stacks (Symfony/Laravel), he values organized workflows, strong technical teams, and practical career growth rather than remote or international roles. Pragmatic and reliable, Mihai is a fast learner who also enjoys front-end work and ships maintainable, well-documented code. Outside of work he’s known as a social coffee lover who unwinds by building small side projects and games, such as a Phaser-based 1v1 browser game on his site. He expects fair compensation, decent equipment, and clear review cycles, making him a candidate who balances engineering craft with realistic workplace needs.
