When I can help
- Your application runs on older PHP and Laravel versions, and upgrades keep getting postponed.
- Changes are hard to make with confidence because tests are missing or the code is difficult to work with.
- The original developer is leaving, and someone needs to take over.
- Your team wants another perspective on the architecture, code or next steps.
What we can work on
PHP and Laravel upgrades, tests around existing behaviour, API design and changes that make the code easier to maintain. I also help teams review their architecture, plan upgrades and improve testing and their development workflow.
How we can work together
- One-off modernization. We agree on the scope, I implement the changes and hand the application back to your team.
- Taking over and ongoing development. I take over an existing application and continue with maintenance and new features.
- Consultation with your team. We review the code, architecture or development process together. Your team handles the implementation.
Where we start
We start with what the application does, what’s causing difficulties and what you need next. I look at the relevant code and setup, then we agree on priorities and the scope of the work.
An example: VIP Benefity
I took an employee benefits platform from Laravel 8 to 13 while the team kept shipping features. Along the way, I introduced tests, redesigned the API and took over the codebase as the original developers moved to another project.
