About Me
Enis is a back-end developer with more than ten years of PHP experience, from agency websites to SaaS platforms. At a SaaS company in Düsseldorf, Enis builds features and integrations for its product, connecting it to accounting systems, expense tools and payment processors, and is modernising its Phalcon monolith by moving parts of it into new Laravel services. Before that, at Trio Software in Tirana, Enis led the company's largest project, a platform for one of Toronto's biggest real-estate companies, as the client's main technical contact.
