Yii2 Modernization Developer for Hire
I take old PHP and Yii2 systems that nobody wants to touch, make them stable, add what the business needs, and leave notes the next developer can follow.
133 completed contracts, 106 five-star reviews and a 100% Job Success Score on Upwork. 71% of that work came from clients who hired me again.
Where these projects go wrong
Legacy rewrites fail because the old system holds rules nobody wrote down. The safer path is usually to understand it first, put tests around what matters, and change it in steps.
What I build
Stabilise first
Errors, slow queries and security holes fixed before anything new is added.
Upgrades in steps
PHP and framework versions moved forward without a big-bang rewrite.
APIs around the old core
New apps and integrations talk to the legacy system through a clean API.
Handover notes
Written documentation of how it works, so the knowledge does not leave with me.
Proof
Laravel and PHP backends
A doctor and patient platform extended over three contracts, and enterprise PHP with SAP in Germany.
A legacy migration done carefully
Old logic rebuilt, run against the client's own files, with nine defects found on the way.
Stack
PHP, Yii2, Laravel, MySQL, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, Docker
Tell me what is broken
Send the workflow, the system or the idea. You get a straight answer on whether it is worth building, and what it would take. If I am not the right person, I will say so.
