Senior Symfony help, on demand

I’m a US-based Symfony contractor with 14 years of Symfony experience — from Symfony 2 through every version since. I’m available for overflow and legacy upgrade work: when your team is at capacity or an aging PHP codebase needs a steady hand, I plug in as a senior engineer — in your timezone, in your workflow, no ramp-up drama.

Overflow capacity

Extra senior throughput when your roadmap outruns your team. I take a slice of the backlog and ship it — features, APIs, and fixes — without you managing a junior.

  • Slot into your sprints, repo & CI
  • Symfony 6/7, API Platform, Doctrine
  • Async, contract-based, US hours

Legacy Symfony upgrades

Stuck on an end-of-life Symfony or PHP version? I plan and execute the upgrade incrementally, keeping the app shippable the whole way — no big-bang rewrite.

  • Symfony 2/3/4/5 → 6/7 migrations
  • PHP 7 → 8.x, Doctrine & bundle updates
  • Test coverage & CI to lock it in

Rescue & maintenance

Inherited a Symfony app with no docs and no author? I get oriented fast, stabilize it, and keep it patched, monitored, and moving forward.

  • Codebase audit & risk map
  • Bug triage & performance fixes
  • Ongoing patching & retainer support

Symfony is my specialty — I also take on Laravel and WordPress work. Based in the US and available now for contract engagements. Tell me about your project ↗

How I work

A straightforward path to shipped

Senior engineering, direct communication, and no surprises. You always know what’s being built and why — and you work with me directly, not a project manager.

  1. 01

    Discover

    I start with your goals and constraints, then scope the smallest thing that delivers real value.

  2. 02

    Design & Build

    Clear milestones, working software early, and steady communication — no black boxes.

  3. 03

    Launch

    I ship it properly: performance, security, and the details that make software feel finished.

  4. 04

    Maintain

    Hosting, monitoring, and ongoing improvements so it keeps working long after launch.
