Summary
Maiko Engelke is a pragmatic Full Stack Developer with 11 years of experience building efficient, maintainable web systems across PHP, Node.js/TypeScript and vanilla JavaScript. He excels in modernizing legacy PHP codebases (including raw PHP and CodeIgniter) and designing high-performance APIs and database queries for latency-sensitive services. Comfortable across backend, frontend, DevOps and integrations, he has shipped payment, KYC and websocket features while owning server setups, Docker workflows and cloud storage.
