PHP Backend Development
I build backend systems in PHP — APIs, workers and integrations. Usually Symfony, sometimes plain PHP when the framework overhead isn't worth it. Everything production-ready: tests, logging, error handling, and deployment that doesn't break at midnight.
What I Can Help With
Build or extend backend features, APIs and services in PHP.
Typical Problems
Relevant Experience
Built PHP backends for Cenoskop (Symfony, product data processing), AnalyticsForWebsite (traffic metrics collection) and Paidshield (encrypted chat). APIs, workers and integrations across different domains.
What Is Included
How It Works
We agree on scope, I build in regular increments with your feedback, then hand over tested code with documentation. Hourly rate €60, typically estimated up front for fixed scope.
From €60/h
Follow-up implementation rate once the problem and scope are understood. Fixed-scope quote preferred — diagnosis first, then a fixed price for the work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Symfony or plain PHP?
I use Symfony for larger applications, plain PHP for focused services. We decide based on what fits your problem.
