Christian Olear

(Senior) Fullstack Web Developer

with solid experience in PHP backend development and a passion for web crawling & scraping

I’m a web developer with 17 years of professional experience and strong expertise in PHP backend development. Based in Linz (🇦🇹), I help companies build custom web apps – web projects that go beyond simple static websites.

I’ve developed a particular passion for web crawling and scraping: I’m the creator of the open-source library crwlr.software and founder of the SaaS platform crwl.io built on top of it.

In my work, I place great value on writing clean, maintainable, performant, and secure code.
