WHO AM I ?
I’m Fadil R, a seasoned PHP / Symfony Developer with over 10 years of experience in full-stack development. I’m also known as fadilxcoder.
I specialize in building scalable web solutions, having developed Android applications, API gateways, and both web / desktop GUI applications using top PHP frameworks like Symfony, Laravel, CodeIgniter, and even my custom micro PHP MVC framework HFX (based on Symfony components).
My expertise extends to DevOps / Docker, setting up GitHub Actions, and implementing CI/CD pipelines for GitLab. I’m also deeply passionate about cybersecurity without forgetting some AI vibe coding.
I work with modern technologies including Golang, Python, use of AI for better development, and various JavaScript tools such as TypeScript, Node.js, Webpack, Babel, Laravel Mix, and Vue.js. I also have experience in cross-platform mobile app development using Apache Cordova, Adobe PhoneGap, and Flutter.
I’ve been an active contributor to the DEV Community since 2019 and have published several PHP packages as well as a Chrome extension.
