Software that runs in production

PHP, Symfony and WordPress since 1998. For systems you want to keep running, and for systems that are overdue for an upgrade.

Services

  • Symfony and PHP backend

    Robust backend systems in modern PHP: REST APIs, message queues, CQRS and event-driven architecture. Most recently for an energy provider and a shipbuilding company.

  • Legacy modernization

    Migrating grown PHP systems to Symfony step by step, without stopping operations. PHP version upgrades up to PHP 8, backed by PHPStan and a staging environment.

  • WordPress development

    18+ years of WordPress: block themes, custom plugins, WooCommerce extensions. Maintenance and updates for a monthly flat fee.

  • Test-driven development

    Tests first, not as an afterthought. This website has over 99% test coverage and passes PHPStan level 8, duplication and complexity gates.

Adding AI to existing systems

I add AI to applications that already exist. Language models sit behind a dedicated layer, longer-running work is handled by message queues, and results go back into your existing process. You don't replace your application, you extend it: tested, logged and with predictable costs.

  • Connecting language models to Symfony and WordPress applications, with a fallback when the provider goes down
  • Recurring work as scheduled jobs instead of manual clicking, with retries on failure
  • Every run logged, cost tracked per model, operated on servers in Germany

How I work

Remote-first in distributed teams, with Jira, Scrum or Kanban. Code reviews, clean handovers and documentation are part of the job. My own tools are open source on GitHub.
