I maintain and modernise Symfony projects that nobody else wants to touch. Step by step, without a big-bang rewrite.
Click through the LTS versions to see what a typical upgrade involves.
Modernise structure and tooling without touching the business logic.
Bug fixes, security updates and small enhancements for existing Symfony applications. Reliable, with clear documentation.
From old Symfony and PHP versions to current LTS releases, in small, testable steps.
I review your project and tell you honestly where the risks are. If you like, I also advise on code questions and technical search engine optimisation.
New functionality, APIs and integrations that fit cleanly into the existing codebase.

Two critical PHP vulnerabilities allow unauthenticated remote code execution. Who is affected, which versions fix it and what to do on PHP 8.1 and older.
The monthly roundup: three Symfony vulnerabilities, the end of PHP 8.2, PHP 8.6 and Symfony 8.2 in November and what it means for existing projects.
I hold a degree in computer science and have worked in IT for more than 15 years. I started in frontend development and then moved to the backend, with PHP as my focus.
I spent four years at a geoinformatics company. Currently I look after a publishing management system, an ERP for the publishing industry that runs as a SaaS application. I am responsible for the entire application: maintenance, new features and bug fixing are part of everyday work.
It is exactly this experience with a grown, productive application that I bring to your projects.
Looking after a productive SaaS application for the publishing industry. I am responsible for the entire application: maintenance, new features and bug fixing in live operation.
Result: an application that runs reliably and keeps evolving.
Consulting on code and search engine optimisation. Questions were answered on the spot, and we implemented the proposed improvements together.
Result: better visibility on Google.
We clarify goals, budget and pitfalls. I read into the code before I change anything.
Versions, dependencies, tests, deployment: you get a short, prioritised overview.
Before refactoring I build a safety net: tests around critical paths, static analysis, a reproducible environment.
Small changes that can go live at any time. No standstill, no big bang.
If you like, I stay on as your go-to person for updates, bugs and further development.
My focus is Symfony and PHP, along with what a productive project needs day to day.
I am available full time right now and can start on a project at short notice.
I work exclusively remotely. Mauritius is in the UTC+4 time zone, which is 2 to 3 hours ahead of Germany depending on the season.
I am used to taking full responsibility for a running application, not just working through individual tickets.
We settle scope, effort and availability up front so you know what to expect.
Send me a short note about what you have. I usually reply within two working days.
