Štefan Peťovský is a pragmatic software architect with 15+ years of experience modernizing web platforms and leading teams across PHP, Symfony, Node.js/React and cloud-native stacks. He excels at rescuing legacy codebases—refactoring to modern PHP, introducing tests, CI/CD, and decoupling monoliths into maintainable microservices to cut costs and improve resilience. His work spans complex domains from utility billing and telematics to F2P games and large social networks, often translating messy business rules into precise, well-tested domain logic. Comfortable across backend, frontend and DevOps, he also rewrote local development workflows and client SDKs to boost developer productivity. Notably, he ported an NP-complete scheduling algorithm from C++ to PHP using Algorithm X/DLX, demonstrating a rare combination of algorithmic skill and pragmatic engineering. Based in Bratislava, he pairs hands-on coding with mentoring and architectural stewardship to raise team-wide engineering standards.
