About the service
I refine and repair PHP code for websites, and I take the jobs other developers left half finished. Send me a site that throws errors, slows down under load or behaves oddly after an update, and I will trace the real cause instead of masking the symptom. I work with plain PHP and with the common frameworks and legacy engines, so an old project without a clear structure does not scare me.
My usual flow is simple. First I reproduce the problem and read the code around it, then I write a focused fix and check that nothing next to it breaks. When the task is about speed, I look at the slow database queries, the repeated work inside loops and the missing caching, and I measure the result before and after so the improvement is a number, not a feeling. When the task is about safety, I check for injection, cross site scripting, exposed secrets and weak access rules, and I close them without rewriting your whole application.
You get clean, commented changes, a short note on what was wrong and why, and a backup of every file I touched. I keep you informed at each step and I do not push untested code to a live site. If you are not sure what exactly is broken, describe the symptom and I will investigate first and quote the work honestly. Small urgent fixes I can usually start the same day.
