Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Rodacker is a seasoned Senior PHP backend developer and owner with 11 years of professional experience building OpenAPI-driven RESTful APIs, microservices, SDKs and SaaS integrations. Based in Luleå, Sweden, he specializes in Symfony-based backends, Dockerized deployments, GitLab CI/CD and IAM solutions (Keycloak), and has hands-on DevOps experience across AWS services. He has led API-first projects for e-commerce and conference SaaS products, created OAuth2/OpenID Connect identity servers, and delivered tooling like SDKs and auto-generated API docs from JSON Schema. As a long-time freelancer and founder, he combines deep implementation skills with pragmatic architecture choices and a track record of modernizing legacy Symfony apps into containerized, CI-driven platforms. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he pairs backend engineering with front-end integrations (Angular/Vue) to ensure end-to-end API usability and developer-friendly SDKs.
