Looking for a freelance PHP developer for your team or project?

My main stack is PHP and Laravel, WordPress and WooCommerce, JavaScript and React, and MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. On the backend I write custom plugins, server-side logic, integrations with external APIs and data migrations, and I can move older code step by step to modern PHP 8.3. On the frontend I use React where interactivity and fast data updates on screen matter, and lighter tools where server-rendered HTML is enough. As a PHP fullstack developer I can deliver a feature from the database to the interface without splitting it between several people.

• PHP, Laravel, WordPress, WooCommerce
• JavaScript and React
• MySQL and PostgreSQL

I do not bring my own rules into someone else's project. I work in your git following your conventions for branches and commits, send changes for code review and deploy the way your team has agreed. I take tasks from the tool the team uses and communicate in its channels. On a new project I first get to know the architecture, dependencies and deployment process, and only then start changing code. I ask questions early so that nobody discovers at handover that everyone understood the brief differently.

• Your git and your conventions
• Changes through code review
• Deployment your way

I work with agencies as a dependable developer inside their team, without adding another layer of project management. The agency keeps the client relationship, design and priorities, and I deliver development within the agreed scope and deadline. I know the agency environment from the inside: fixed deadlines, several projects at once and quality seen by many people at once. I can pick up an ongoing WordPress, WooCommerce or Laravel project or build a new one to the agency's standards.

• The client relationship stays yours
• Delivery within the agreed scope and deadline
• Agency experience in Košice and Bratislava

Companies most often bring me in when an in-house developer has left, the original supplier has no capacity, or a system needs to grow beyond what the internal team can handle. I have taken over whole Laravel applications and continued their development when the original developers no longer had time for them. I have worked on B2B portals, multi-tenant platforms, electronic invoicing systems, registration systems for conference organisers and subscription portals. When taking over, I first map versions, dependencies, tests and deployment, name the risks and only then propose the order of work. I only recommend a rewrite from scratch when it is demonstrably cheaper than further fixes.

• Taking over from the original team
• A map of risks before any change
• No automatic rewrite

An external developer should not create dependency. I write readable code with clear names and separated responsibilities, leave a note wherever a decision is not obvious, and add tests and static analysis around critical logic. Larger parts come with a short description of how to run, configure and deploy them. When the collaboration ends, your team has everything it needs in the repository and does not have to reconstruct why something works the way it does.

• Readable code and notes
• Tests around critical logic
• Notes on running and deploying

The best results come from collaborations that last for years, because every project needs less explaining and builds more shared context. I work remotely from Poprad with teams in Slovakia and abroad, and I am happy to meet in person for local projects. We agree on the form of collaboration that suits you: a fixed price for a defined stage, or paying for the time actually spent on ongoing development. You always get the price and terms in writing upfront.
