I build fullstack applications
Laravel & Statamic Vue + TypeScript Go services LLM applications
Mostly PHP and Laravel, increasingly Go and Python around language models. I like small commits, typed code, and working with best practices and proven patterns.

A few things worth showing. Each one has a short write-up of what it does and which decisions turned out to matter.

What I work with
Grouped roughly by how often it shows up in a working week.
Languages
- PHP 8.3+, strict types, my default
- TypeScript Everywhere the browser goes
- Go Services and CLI tooling
- Python Data work and LLM glue
Backend
- Laravel The framework I know best
- Statamic Flat-file CMS on top of Laravel
- Inertia SPAs without the API layer
- Livewire When a full SPA is overkill
- Hugging Face Hugging Face
Frontend
- Vue Composition API, TypeScript throughout
- React Hooks, server components
- Tailwind CSS v4, design tokens first
- Alpine.js For the small interactive bits
AI & LLM
- Claude API Tool use, structured output, agents
- LangChain Retrieval and chaining
- Ollama Local models while prototyping
- RAG Daily driver
Data & Infra
- PostgreSQL Default datastore, incl. pgvector
- MySQL Plenty of legacy, still fine
- Redis Queues, cache, locks
- Docker Same box everywhere
- pgvector Working knowledge
Tooling
- Git Small commits, readable history
- Vite Builds and HMR
- NGINX Deploys and reverse proxying
- Traefik Strong
- k3s Strong
- Kubernetes Strong

How I can help
Available for freelance and contract work, remote or on-site in Germany.
Laravel & Statamic development
Backends, editorial sites and internal tools, built to be handed over rather than rescued.
- Custom Laravel applications
- Statamic sites with sane content models
- Multi-language and multi-site setups
- High Test coverage
Most engagements start here.
Frontend engineering
Vue or React with TypeScript, wired to a real backend and accessible by default.
- Vue 3 and React with TypeScript
- Design systems in Tailwind
- shadcn component library or other
LLM applications
Retrieval, tool use and agents that stay debuggable once they are in production.
- Retrieval pipelines over your own data
- Tool use and structured output
- Evaluation before rollout
Python
Audits & consulting
A second pair of eyes on an existing codebase, with findings you can act on.
- Architecture and code review
- Performance and query analysis
- Upgrade paths for old Laravel apps
- Written report
Fixed scope hourly rate
Legacy PHP to Laravel Migration
Still running critical business logic on outdated PHP code? I help modernize legacy PHP systems by migrating them into Laravel — without the risk, downtime, or "rewrite from scratch" horror stories.
- Audit & assessment
- Migration strategy
- Database migration
- Business logic translation
- Testing & validation
- Deployment & handoff
