I upgrade PHP, Symfony, Laravel and WordPress systems, as well as custom applications built without a framework. I update ageing code, libraries and integrations affected by version changes.
I check code compatibility, adapt it to breaking changes and test key parts of the system: forms, payments and background tasks.
PHP, Symfony, Laravel, WordPress
I diagnose recurring errors, slow pages and problems that are difficult to reproduce. I analyse the source code, integrations and server configuration to identify the cause.
I optimise old PHP code, reduce unnecessary calls and queries, and check for similar issues elsewhere in the system.
Bug fixes, performance, code refactoring
I improve the parts users interact with directly: forms, navigation, tables, filters and dashboards. I work with Vue, React, server-rendered pages and interfaces integrated into existing PHP systems.
This includes fixing broken functionality, making layouts responsive on mobile devices and building new application screens with a consistent style.
Vue, React, server-rendered pages
I build and maintain API integrations, payment gateways and automated processes: emails, data imports and exports. I work with job queues, background workers and scheduled tasks.
When tasks stall or fail, I identify the causes in the application code and processes, checking retries, time limits and configuration.
APIs, payments, job queues, background processes, cron jobs
I extend running systems with the functionality a business needs: reports, internal tools, new workflows and connections to external services. I work with Symfony, Laravel and custom PHP systems.
Changes cover both the user interface and the backend. I ensure new functionality fits smoothly into the existing system without disrupting its operation.
Symfony, Laravel, custom PHP architecture
I configure the environment needed for reliable operation: PHP settings, web servers, background processes and scheduled tasks. I resolve issues where the same code behaves differently across environments.
I align system requirements with server settings, make the necessary changes and provide a clear configuration summary.
PHP settings (php.ini), Nginx / Apache, background services
You tell me about the system and its current challenges. I review its behaviour, code, integrations and server environment to establish a clear starting point.
We agree on priorities and stages of work. I assess dependencies, potential risks and the time needed so the scope is clear before we begin.
I carry out the agreed development work while preserving the existing system structure. I thoroughly test the affected processes and check for unintended errors.
I document the changes and important settings, and provide recommendations for the future. If the system needs ongoing maintenance, we agree on a support plan.
Tell me briefly about the system and the work you need done. A few sentences are enough. If you have a specific deadline, mention it too.
Thank you for your message. I’ll review the situation and reply by email shortly.
