Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGuido Faecke is a seasoned Zend PHP Professional Services Engineer and founder with 35+ years of software experience and PHP expertise since 1999, currently helping enterprises and public-sector clients modernize mission-critical systems. He specializes in bridging legacy IBM i/RPG landscapes to maintainable, high-performance PHP applications using Mezzio, Laminas, Doctrine, and modern JS frameworks like Vue and React, while enforcing SOLID design, unit testing, and static analysis. Guido also tunes IBM i DB2 performance with ACS tools and brings pragmatic CI/CD and container experience (Docker, k3s), even running clusters on Raspberry Pis to prototype resilient deployments. Comfortable in security- and compliance-heavy environments, he’s shipped software for banks, insurers, and government bodies and mentors teams to avoid “best practices” that don’t survive reality. Not obvious from titles: he blends deep legacy archaeology with modern architecture, turning decades-old systems into clean, testable code rather than throwing them away.
