Senior Software Engineer | Expert in PHP, System Design & Architecture
Hello! I'm Famory Sissoko , a bilingual senior software engineer with 8+ years of experience building robust web applications and system architectures.
I specialize in PHP development using pure PHP or its modern frameworks like Laravel and Symfony , and Iâm passionate about scalable backend solutions, clean software design, and developer experience.
My career spans across mission-critical sectors like energy, education, and healthcare â where Iâve led end-to-end projects from architecture to deployment. I thrive in agile teams and love bringing clarity to complex problems using Domain-Driven Design and clean architecture principles .
I bridge business needs with clean architecture and reliable code , ensuring every product I work on delivers long-term value.
Debugging is also one of my core strengths. Iâve worked extensively with tools like Xdebug and Laravel Debugbar to identify and fix performance bottlenecks, integration errors, and backend issues. This expertise has helped accelerate delivery and improve code quality across several high-impact projects.
I'm also experienced in using Docker to manage complex, multi-service environments. I regularly leverage Docker Compose to orchestrate web containers, databases, and background workers, and to streamline workflows like running Doctrine database migrations in Symfony projects.
When Iâm not coding, youâll find me practicing karate, exploring new design patterns, or sharing engineering insights on LinkedIn.
