Summary
Pál Gálik is a Senior Backend Developer based in Budapest with eight years of hands-on experience building and optimizing high-traffic web applications. He specializes in PHP and Symfony, containerization with Docker and Kubernetes, and has driven measurable performance gains—up to 3–4x faster API responses—while automating testing and deployment pipelines. Pál has a track record across startups and product teams, from redesigning large e-commerce platforms to scaling services for millions of daily users, and he often leads migrations from legacy systems to modern, observable infrastructures. Currently exploring Go, he blends practical DevOps practice with domain-driven design and CQRS patterns to deliver reliable, production-ready backends. An approachable mentor and frequent implementer of internal developer tools, he’s as comfortable optimizing SQL queries as he is setting up cluster monitoring and alerting.
