Pavel Rorecek is a senior software engineer with two decades of hands-on experience and a deep specialization in PHP and Laravel, complemented by modern front-end work in Vue.js, Livewire and TALL-stack migrations. He has repeatedly modernized and scaled legacy systems—migrating PHP/Laravel versions, moving databases from MongoDB to MySQL, and rebuilding monoliths into maintainable SaaS platforms—while optimizing for performance at scale (APIs handling millions of daily requests). Pavel combines backend engineering (including Golang services and large-scale scrapers using AWS SQS/EC2/Lambda) with pragmatic product-focused features like subscription billing and advanced search using Elasticsearch. He mentors junior engineers, champions code quality and architecture, and brings an entrepreneurial mindset informed by earlier self-employment and MSc studies in economics and entrepreneurship. Based in Ostrava, Czechia, he prefers tackling messy legacy code and turning it into clean, testable systems that ship reliably.
