👤
SeniorPaul Duca is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with 8 years of experience building and integrating web and backend systems across PHP/Laravel, Go microservices, MySQL, Vue.js and AWS. Based in Bucharest, he specializes in reliable integrations for e-commerce and payments—automating listings, orders and stock sync between platforms—and has implemented permission management, notification templates and complex data migrations on production systems.
