Quick overview
Worked on a PHP 7 to PHP 8 migration and implemented scoring logic for matching real estate offers against client preferences such as budget, area, rooms, and surface. Also handled UI bugfixes and compatibility issues caused by stricter PHP 8 behavior.

Context, responsibility, outcome, and takeaway
Context
I worked on Casaprima.ro, a real estate platform where I handled PHP 7 to PHP 8 migration issues, UI bugfixes, and business logic for scoring property offers against client preferences.
My role
I fixed deprecated PHP functions, warnings, stricter type behavior, library compatibility issues, runtime issues caused by PHP 8, UI bugs discovered during migration, and implemented an admin-facing offer scoring view.
Result
The PHP migration helped keep the platform compatible with a newer runtime, while the scoring feature gave admins a separate view for comparing property offers and identifying stronger matches for each client.
Takeaway
Legacy modernization is strongest when runtime upgrades are paired with business value, not only compatibility fixes.
Expandable details for the technical story
Scoring logic
The scoring system matched property offers against client preferences such as budget, area/location, number of rooms, surface, and other criteria. Offers received points based on how well they matched the configured requirements.
Migration approach
The PHP 7 to PHP 8 migration required fixing deprecated functions, warnings, stricter type behavior, library compatibility problems, runtime issues, and UI/application bugs discovered during the upgrade.
Why it matters
The site moved to a newer runtime while administrators received a separate view for comparing scored property offers and identifying better matches for each client.
Core responsibilities and engineering details
