Zikra Infotech

PHP Developer • Only Interview, Hired on Passion

March 2023 – November 2023

The Situation

My first formal role: inherited a legacy CodeIgniter 3 CRM used daily by a growing team of <10 employees (now 50+). I learned the codebase on the fly while shipping production features.

What I Built

Real-time team team management module with clock-in/out, AFK management and overtime detection, for a growing team
Custom project management module (JIRA-inspired) with project scoped SCRUM metrics dashboard
Crafted a Recruitment Management System with built-in email piping using AWS SES/SNS
GPT-3.5 powered reminder system via Google Chat webhooks, Built before agents were cool

Key Wins

~50 employees still press the same clock-in button daily I coded 2 year ago
Shipped first production module in under 10 working days without prior CodeIgniter experience
Acquired practical experience in integrating modern tools like LLMs, cron-based automation workflows, and AWS-based infrastructure into legacy system architectures.

The Lesson

Fast learning is a superpower. Sustainable systems are the goal. Extending legacy code taught me that architecture is about future humans, not just today's compiler.
