Static analysis
PHPStan, typed method signatures, documented generics where useful, Rector-supported cleanup, and changes that make future pull requests easier to review.
PHP development
Modern PHP work for applications that need to keep earning trust.
I work with PHP as a long-term production language: Laravel applications, backend services, CLI tools, package code, legacy systems, tests, refactors, and performance-sensitive workflows.
- Use language features to make behavior explicit, not clever.
- Keep framework code boring enough for another developer to maintain.
- Modernize risky code in slices with tests and deployment discipline.
PHP work
The practical areas where PHP still works very well.
- Modern PHPTyped code, enums, value objects, DTOs, strict boundaries, Composer hygiene, static analysis, formatting, and predictable package versions.
- Laravel systemsApplications built around Form Requests, Actions, policies, Eloquent relationships, jobs, events, resources, Blade components, and tests.
- Legacy repairIncremental modernization for old PHP and Laravel applications where the work must happen without stopping the business.
- Automation toolsCLI tools, importers, exporters, scripts, API clients, webhooks, background jobs, and repeatable workflows for operational teams.
Testable boundaries
Business behavior moves into actions, services, models, jobs, and policies so feature tests can exercise real HTTP and queue behavior.
Deployment safety
Database changes, worker restarts, cache invalidation, config changes, and rollback paths are treated as part of PHP development, not separate paperwork.
