I am Alexandr Rešetňak, a senior PHP backend developer based in Prague. I design and modernize PHP backends in Symfony, Laravel, and Nette, with a focus on SQL databases, domain modeling, integrations, and low-risk refactoring of long-running applications.
Roles, responsibilities, and environments
I'm strongest where a technical decision has to line up with the product, operations, and the long-term maintenance of the system.
Designing maintainable application logic, module boundaries, and API contracts for products that keep evolving.
Incrementally simplifying older PHP systems without putting operations or the product team at unnecessary risk.
Working with SQL schemas, data flows, message queues, and integrations with internal and external systems.
Grounding technical decisions in their impact on team velocity, operational stability, and future product change.

Product UI
Integration & delivery
I am a senior PHP backend developer based in Prague. I specialize in backend systems, databases, maintainable architecture, and low-risk modernization of legacy applications.
I've worked in product development, enterprise environments, and smaller teams where you need to deliver value quickly without letting the system age into technical debt.
I treat code as a means to a good product. Readability, operational stability, and decisions that won't get in the team's way two years from now matter most to me.
Outside work I build my own systems, experiment with new technologies, follow technical and product trends, and train with weights.
I'm drawn to systems that help people make consistent progress — in software, at work, and in personal habits.
