PHP Development

I provide professional PHP development for custom web applications, WordPress solutions, plugins, themes, APIs, and backend systems. After 8+ years writing production PHP, I build code that's maintainable, secure, and built to handle real traffic — not just a working demo.

Whether it's a standalone application, a WordPress plugin, or a backend API powering a mobile app, I work directly in PHP to solve problems at a level a template can't reach — custom logic, custom data structures, and custom integrations.

With 30+ plugins built and 250+ projects delivered, I know how to structure a PHP codebase that a future developer — or future me — can actually maintain.

What's included

A PHP Development engagement covers the full backend of a project — from the first database table to the API endpoint a front end calls.

The core scope on every project looks like this:

• Custom Web Applications
• WordPress Solutions
• Plugins & Themes
• API Development
• Backend Systems
• Database Integration
• Third-Party Integrations
• Debugging & Optimization

Use cases

PHP development covers a wide range of problems, from small custom scripts to full backend systems.

A few examples of what this typically looks like in practice:

• Building a custom WordPress plugin to handle a business-specific workflow
• Writing a PHP API that connects a website to a mobile app or third-party service
• Migrating a legacy PHP application to a modern, maintainable structure
• Debugging and fixing performance issues in an existing PHP codebase

Code quality & reliability

PHP code that works today but breaks under load or a version upgrade isn't finished. Every project gets the same baseline of care.

This is standard on every project, not an add-on:

• Secure coding practices
• Clean, documented code
• Database optimization
• Debugging & ongoing support
