How I learned PHP
I never thought that I would learn PHP but circumstances forced me to do so and I am happy that they did!

ABOUT ME
Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience
Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience
I'm a full-stack developer with 10+ years of experience, and I co-founded IT4Best, a Romania-based consultancy that helps startups and scaleups build robust MVPs and production-ready web apps.
Prior to launching IT4Best, I worked at Web3Box, where I contributed to platforms like Motobucks (https://www.motobucks.com/), RingMyStylist (https://www.ringmystylist.com/), and initial versions of tools for Quotible (https://www.quotible.com), a US-based automotive tech company.
After starting IT4Best, Quotible chose to continue working with me directly. Since then, we’ve built and maintained:
🔹 Lead Response Tool – Interactive quoting platform for dealerships (Laravel + Angular) https://www.quotible.com/lead-response
🔹 Instant Quote Widget – Widget for VDP/SRP quote generation (Laravel + Vue)
🔹 Chrome Extension – One-click lead import from CRMs (JavaScript, Manifest v3)
🔹 VINDNA Widget – VIN-based pricing & trust display (Laravel + React) https://www.quotible.com/vindna
🔹 Interactive Window Stickers – QR-based mobile vehicle info (Laravel + React) https://www.quotible.com/interactive-window-stickers
Through IT4Best, I’ve also worked on:
🔹 A large-scale travel booking platform (legacy PHP + MySQL)
🔹 A last-mile logistics platform used by global enterprise clients (AngularJS/Angular 19 + Node.js + MongoDB)

The very first front end programming language I have learned when I was in college, about 10 years ago. I have created my first web project in my final year of college, in 2014-2015, using JS, HTML, and PHP. I knew PHP so it wasn't as hard to learn the programming part of JS. Just the DOM management was new and if I am being honest, it was the most fun!

This is my favorite JS framework. If it was on me, I would develop all of the web apps coming to our company in React JS. However, it hasn't been this way 3 years ago when I started learning the framework. Redux was particularly hard, but the beautiful thing about the web development is, that once you get a grasp of something, many other things come so naturally. Once I learned REDUX, I was able to learn state management in Vue really fast.

I have started working with various front end frameworks, about 3 years ago and it has been a privilege to learn, develop, and teach this JS framework. The current application I have worked on in this framework is https://book.ringmystylist.com, the site is in WordPress but once you log in, its the Vue app.

I learned jQuery right after Javascript. I was like, why didn't I learn this first? life would have been so much easier. However the more I went deep in web development field, the more I realized why it was so right decision to get good in JS first before starting to use jQuery. I have met developers who have no idea what JS is, they think jQuery is the real JS. jQuery was fairly easy to learn after knowing JS and we use mosty jQuery if we are not using a JS framework in a project. It goes well with Laravel if its a light web app. I have been working with jQuery from my college time (2011) so 6 years is less said.

It is one of the first JS frameworks I have worked with. I have started with Angular2 but in time the framework has been improved a lot which makes it a lot of fun to use it. I personally prefer React over Angular but nonetheless, it is a fun framework to work with.

Lumen, I first used it soon after learning Laravel when we had to develop a REST API and we already had a Laravel backend. We just converted Laravel backend to Lumen REST API which helped me learn about it and since then I have been working on various similar projects. I must say, if you know Laravel, it makes it really easy to work with Lumen and its way faster.
