Summary
Robin Lehrmann is a Senior Software Developer with 11 years of experience specializing in PHP and Symfony, applying hexagonal architecture, Domain-Driven Design, and strict SOLID principles to build maintainable, well-tested systems. He combines hands-on backend development with solid DevOps expertise—provisioning Linux servers (Debian/FreeBSD), automating with Ansible, orchestrating AWS infrastructure via Terraform/Terragrunt, and containerizing workflows with Docker and ECS. His recent roles include leading teams and coaching engineers in Symfony, PHP, AWS and Terraform, and designing event-driven microservices using Symfony Messenger, SNS and SQS. Based in Bocholt, Germany, Robin is as comfortable refactoring legacy applications into modern architectures as he is implementing CI/CD pipelines, which makes him a pragmatic architect who bridges product needs and operational realities. An understated strength is his focus on separating domain logic from framework concerns, enabling long-lived, adaptable systems rather than quick framework-dependent hacks.
