RESTful API Development in PHP

I'm looking for an experienced PHP developer to create a robust RESTful API for my project. The API will be handling a variety of operations including Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations.

Key Requirements:
- Extensive experience in PHP and API development, specifically RESTful APIs.
- Proficiency in handling CRUD operations.
- Strong understanding of web services and server-side scripting.

Please provide examples of similar projects you've completed in the past. Knowledge of security best practices for API development will be an added advantage.
