Web applications in Symfony
Admin panels, internal tools and APIs in Symfony: Doctrine and migrations, Messenger for background jobs, Twig, tests, auth (LDAP / OAuth). Ready for Docker and CI/CD from the first commit.
Symfony, PHP and Python developer
The best code is the code that takes repetitive work off people’s plates. I write internal tools, system-to-system integrations and automation: from an environment-management panel in Symfony, through Python scripts gluing APIs together, to bots and reports that send themselves.
What you get
API integrations
REST, SOAP, GraphQL, webhooks, CSV/XML/EDI files. Queues, retries, error logging and alerts – integrations that do not need babysitting.
Python automation
Scripts and services: data processing, reports, synchronisation, bots (Slack, Telegram), scheduled jobs. Run from cron, CI or as a container.
DevOps tooling
CLIs and automation for deployments, environment management, config generation, infrastructure clean-up – in Python, Bash or PHP.
Support for existing projects
I take over and extend PHP / Symfony / Python code, add tests, tidy up deployments. Without rewriting everything from scratch.

How we work together
- 01
Conversation and scope
You describe the process or the problem. I ask what should happen in edge cases and how to measure success. A short scope document comes out of it.
- 02
Quote
Fixed price for well-defined tasks, hourly billing for exploratory work. Always with reasoning.
- 03
Iterative work
Short milestones, each ending with something you can test. Code in your repo, with CI, pull requests and reviews if you have a team.
- 04
Rollout and handover
Deployment (Docker / server / CI), documentation, README, training. Optional maintenance and further development.
Frequently asked questions
Do you also build frontends / mobile apps?
I focus on backend and automation. Simple interfaces (admin panels, forms, Twig/HTMX) yes; complex SPAs and mobile apps – together with frontend developers I work with.
Who owns the code?
You do. Code goes into your repository and the transfer of copyright is part of the contract.
How long does a typical automation take?
A simple script integrating two systems is usually a few days. A Symfony panel with auth and a few modules – two weeks and up. After a call I will give you a realistic estimate.
Have a project or an infrastructure problem?
Write a few sentences about what you want to achieve. I usually reply within 24 hours and tell you straight away whether and how I can help.
