PHP software development by an expert

CakePHP

CakePHP

My main expertise lies with CakePHP framework. As a long term core developer I also helped shape it and help it to become and stay the leading RAD (Rapid Application Development) framework in the PHP world. Other frameworks often have other advantages, like community and enterprise features. The main idea for CakePHP as the right tool depends on the concrete use case. I can provide guidance on whether and how to use it effectively and how to build high-quality applications. I can also help you to choose the right tools and frameworks for your project.

Quick overview:

  • Perfect for POC (proof of concept) apps when the requirements are all a bit fuzzy still.
  • Very quick in getting first results on DB driven application needs, both front and backend.
  • Can scale up easily for medium scaled app and team sizes.

PHP application development

I also have ample experience with e.g. Symfony and other PHP frameworks. If a project is already working fine on those, there is often no need to switch. Instead, one can focus to further build and stabilize the application.

Focus areas:
  • Automation and background processing / tooling
  • Backend and form based editing for existing data workflows
  • API and AI based process updates

Consulting

In some cases it can be useful to have an experienced senior application architect take a look at the current implementation and access the situation based on certain criteria. Then a recommendation based on those factors can be made.

Possible topics can be:
  • Introspect code quality and assert overall health
  • Analyze in respect to maintainability and security
  • Assess bug or feature topics in terms of time/costs
  • .. and more
