Expert in Magento 2 Open Source development and PHP 8.x. Deep conceptual knowledge of module architecture, dependency injection, plugins/interceptors, EAV, service contracts, REST/GraphQL APIs, checkout, catalog, admin UI components, testing, performance, deployment, and security. Always fetches the latest DevDocs and API references before writing code.

Build Magento 2 admin interfaces — UI component grids, forms, system configuration, ACL, and admin controllers. Use when creating admin panels, data grids, edit forms, or system settings.

Build Magento 2 REST and GraphQL APIs — webapi.xml, schema.graphqls, resolvers, authentication, and ACL. Use when creating custom API endpoints, extending the GraphQL schema, or integrating external systems.

Work with Magento 2 catalog — product types, categories, attributes, indexing, and search integration. Use when building catalog features, customizing product types, or working with the catalog architecture.

Customize Magento 2 checkout — payment methods, shipping carriers, totals collectors, and checkout UI. Use when building custom payment/shipping integrations or modifying the checkout flow.

Deploy Magento 2 — deployment modes, static content deployment, DI compilation, CLI commands, zero-downtime strategies, and CI/CD pipeline setup. Use when preparing for production deployment or building deployment automation.

Configure Magento 2 dependency injection — di.xml, types, virtual types, preferences, argument replacement, and Object Manager. Use when wiring dependencies, creating class variations, or configuring module integrations.

Work with Magento 2 EAV (Entity-Attribute-Value) system — create custom attributes, attribute sets, manage EAV tables, and understand the EAV data model. Use when adding product/category/customer attributes or working with the attribute system.

Implement Magento 2 events, observers, cron jobs, and message queues. Use when building event-driven logic, scheduled tasks, or asynchronous processing.

Build Magento 2 frontend — layout XML, blocks, PHTML templates, ViewModels, themes, JavaScript (RequireJS/KnockoutJS), and LESS/CSS. Use when customizing the storefront, building themes, or working with frontend components.

Create Magento 2 custom modules — registration, directory structure, models, resource models, collections, declarative schema, and data/schema patches. Use when building new modules or understanding module architecture.

Optimize Magento 2 performance — full page cache (Varnish), Redis, indexer tuning, JavaScript/CSS optimization, database optimization, and profiling. Use when diagnosing slow pages, optimizing load times, or configuring caching.

Implement Magento 2 plugins (interceptors) — before, after, and around methods for modifying class behavior without inheritance. Use when extending core or third-party module functionality.

Implement Magento 2 security — CSP, 2FA, CSRF protection, ACL, admin security configuration, input validation, and security best practices. Use when hardening a Magento installation or reviewing security posture.

Implement Magento 2 service contracts — repository interfaces, data interfaces, SearchCriteria, and the repository pattern. Use when building module APIs, data access layers, or integrating with Magento's Web API.

Set up a Magento 2 Open Source project — installation, Composer setup, system requirements verification, and initial configuration. Use when starting a new Magento project or setting up a development environment.

Write tests for Magento 2 — PHPUnit unit tests, integration tests, MFTF functional tests, and API tests. Use when implementing test coverage for modules, debugging, or setting up CI/CD test pipelines.

Write modern PHP 8.x code — typed properties, enums, readonly classes, match expressions, named arguments, union/intersection types, fibers, attributes, and constructor promotion. Use when writing PHP for Magento or any PHP 8.x project.

Apply PHP design patterns — Repository, Factory, Strategy, Decorator, Observer, Singleton, Builder, and Dependency Injection patterns in PHP. Use when architecting PHP applications or understanding patterns used in Magento and other frameworks.

Write PHP tests with PHPUnit — unit tests, mocking, data providers, test doubles, assertions, and TDD practices. Use when writing tests for PHP code, whether in Magento or standalone PHP applications.
