Technology Ecosystem
Legacy systems & PHP rescue
Long-running PHP, Laravel, Symfony and WordPress platforms that other developers no longer want to touch. I keep them stable, modernize them progressively, and turn them back into an asset instead of a liability.
Not just advice — code that ships
I stay close to the keyboard. Real commits, real repositories, real production work — every week. When you hire me you get a senior who can still build, not just diagram.
Let's talk about your platform, team, or roadmap — and how I can help.
Pick a slot that fits — Reclaim handles the scheduling automatically.
Talking to a real human
No avatars, no stock smiles — just the actual person you'd be working with.
