Modernizing legacy code
I bring aging applications up to current versions and reduce complexity step by step, without putting production at risk.
Full-stack developer · Laravel · Vue · remote
More capacity for your dev team, legacy code included.
I get up to speed in existing codebases, ship features, modernize legacy code and build up test coverage. Remote, billed by the hour.
Onboarding
Productive fast in unfamiliar code, even without documentation.
How I work
In your workflow: Git, tickets, code reviews.
Billing
Hourly, no minimum commitment.
Services
Individually or combined, depending on where your team needs help right now.
02
Team augmentation
I work as part of your team: shipping features, fixing bugs, reviewing code. In your tools, following your conventions.
03
Testing and quality
A lean testing strategy that fits your codebase, so changes become predictable and nothing breaks unnoticed.
Up-to-date tooling
My focus is Laravel and Vue, on current versions, with AI agents as part of my daily workflow. I quickly find my way around existing stacks.

Experience
Areas I know well from building and maintaining web applications.
Multi-tenant SaaS
Many customers in one application: strictly separated data, with roles and permissions enforced in the backend.
Personal data
Applications built with data protection in mind from day one: audit trails, anonymization, clear deletion rules.
Integrations
Moving data between systems: imports from third-party formats, PDF and CSV exports, queued email delivery.
Operations and deployment
Getting applications into production and keeping them running: server setup, backups with tested restores, updates and monitoring.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with our tools?
Yes. I work in your repository and your ticketing system, following your review rules.
How does billing work?
Hourly, based on actual time spent, with transparent time tracking.
Do you take on code without tests or documentation?
Yes, that is often where things start. I first cover the critical parts with tests, then make changes.
Do you also work in German?
Yes. Communication, code and documentation in English or German.
How do you use AI?
I work with AI agents such as Claude Code, for example to find my way around unfamiliar code, write tests or prepare changes. I review every change myself before it goes into a pull request. Whether and which AI tools I use on your code is something we agree on up front.
