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.
Build or extend backend features, APIs and services in PHP.
Built PHP backends for Cenoskop (Symfony, product data processing), AnalyticsForWebsite (traffic metrics collection) and Paidshield (encrypted chat). APIs, workers and integrations across different domains.
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.
Hourly for well-scoped work. I'll give a fixed estimate if the scope is clear.
I use Symfony for larger applications, plain PHP for focused services. We decide based on what fits your problem.
