Discuss a Backend Engagement

Tell me what the system is and what is going wrong with it. A few paragraphs is enough to get a useful answer, I do not need a specification, and I am not going to ask you for a budget before I understand the problem.

Get in Touch

Send the details

The system, what is going wrong with it, and what a good outcome looks like.

For example: PHP 7.4, Symfony 5, MySQL, Redis, running on AWS.

The form is delivered to me by email through FormSubmit. Nothing is stored in a database on this site, there is no tracking or analytics script on this page, and the details are not used for anything other than replying to you.

What Happens Next

  1. A reply from me

    Not a sales sequence and not an automated qualification funnel. If your problem is outside what I can usefully help with, that is what the reply will say.

  2. A short technical call

    Thirty to sixty minutes about the actual system, with the engineer who would do the work. Enough to tell whether the problem is what it looks like.

  3. A defined first step

    Either a fixed-price migration readiness audit, a private AI readiness audit, or a 10-day paid pilot. All are small enough to stop after without leaving stranded work behind.

Not sure which conversation this is? If the problem is an ageing platform, start from the PHP to Go migration page. If the data should stay off public AI services, start from private AI and local LLMs. If it is a shortage of senior backend capacity, start from the contractor engagement page. There is more about how I work on the about page.
