Nguyen Kim Thi> PHP / Backend Developer

Currently at NTQ Solution, working with PHP (Laravel, CakePHP) and SQL. I have upgraded a CakePHP 2.x system to 5.x, built email automation with Laravel queues and the scheduler, and synced PLC data into SQL Server.

✓CakePHP 2.x → 5.x
✓PLC → SQL Server sync
✓Queue & DB locking
EXAMPLES
// Simplified example: CakePHP 2.x → 5.xIllustrative
// CakePHP 2.x: find() + save(), no transaction
- $res = $this->JobOrder->find('first', array('conditions' => ...));
- $this->JobOrder->save($data);
// CakePHP 5.x: ORM + transaction + row lock (FOR UPDATE)
+ $conn = $this->fetchTable('JobOrders')->getConnection();
+ $conn->transactional(function () use ($jobId) {
+ $order = $this->JobOrders->get($jobId, ['lock' => 'forUpdate']);
+ $this->JobOrders->patchEntity($order, ['status' => Status::SYNCED]);
+ });

About

I studied Information Systems at Thuy Loi University and have spent 2+ years working on backend development. My experience ranges from a factory production system (SIFMES) to a CakePHP legacy upgrade, and I currently work as a Backend Developer at NTQ Solution.

I enjoy upgrading old systems safely, building background jobs that can retry and be monitored, and keeping data in sync between systems.

WHAT I DO

Capabilities

Legacy system upgrades, scheduled background jobs, and data synchronization pipelines.
