Oleksii Pakholkov

I’ve been working as a PHP Developer since 2010. My early experience includes content management systems like Joomla, WordPress, and Drupal, later expanding into frameworks such as Zend Framework 1 & 2, Yii, and some exposure to SugarCRM. Over the years, I’ve also worked with frontend technologies including Ember and Angular, which helped me gain a broader perspective as a developer. Since 2015, I’ve been focused on Magento, and since 2019—on Magento 2. My work has mainly revolved around large-scale B2C and B2B platforms. I’ve handled a wide range of tasks—from debugging custom and third-party modules to building complex integrations with ERP systems, payment gateways, shipping services, and more. I also contributed to a project that migrated to a PWA architecture. While backend development is my core strength, I’m comfortable working with JavaScript when needed. I’m also preparing for a transition into a leadership role. I’ve completed a Team Leader course and have occasionally taken on leadership responsibilities, even though I haven’t held an official team lead position yet. As a mentor, I can support you in developing solid PHP and Magento skills, navigating real-world projects, dealing with legacy code, and growing your career with confidence. I’m happy to share both technical expertise and practical advice based on years of hands-on experience.
