Hello,
You have developer with over 1 year experience in front of you, I have developed few actually very big sites with Yii.
My Yii story:
I started in 2012 December. My first project is called "Tööbik", which was developed with Yii framework. As it is kinda closed(for estonian companies, needs account) I didn't list it out. From there I have worked with custom Controllers, Models, Form models, Validation rules, Modules which contains separate logic ( can be transferred over different yii projects, only view change is needed). I have also worked with console commands. There might be a very small chance that i might need to look some odd things up, but AR is like juice. In company we have policy to use as much as possible Yii based logic. This includes all kinds of components (widgets, behaviours, events, etc)
Kind regards,
actiwe
