Database backups: the rule almost nobody follows
Having backups is not enough. The only real guarantee is having already restored them at least once.

02 — APPROACH
A solid back end that is easy to evolve
The back end is everything visitors do not see: data, business rules, payments, emails, permissions. When it is well designed, the site stays fast, secure and easy to evolve.
I design clear APIs, well-structured databases and organized code, then handle deployment and production follow-up, as with the server administration of Baity.tn. For the language itself (legacy code, PHP 8), see the PHP developer page.
API
Clear endpoints, validation, documentation.
SECURITY
Authentication, permissions, protected data.
PRODUCTION
Deployment, backups, monitoring.

05 — FAQ
Back end: your questions
What is the difference between back end and front end?
The front end is what visitors see and use in their browser; the back end is the server side that handles data, business rules, payments and security. I work on both, which makes them communicate smoothly.
Can you connect my site to an external service?
Yes: online payment, carriers, CRM, ERP, email marketing or AI APIs, through their APIs or webhooks.
My application is slow, can you optimize it?
Yes. I first measure where time is lost (SQL queries, code, server), then fix what has the most impact first.
