17 years of Magento.
Your problem? Already solved.

I'm a senior Magento 2 developer who has spent 17 years doing nothing but Magento. Backend, frontend, performance, migrations, custom modules - whatever your shop needs, I've built it before. Probably more than once.

17 Years Magento
100+ Custom Extensions
50+ Satisfied Clients

Sound familiar?

These are the problems my clients come to me with every week.

🕑

"Our shop is slow and we don't know why."

Slow shops kill conversions. I diagnose the bottleneck - whether it's unoptimized queries, missing caching, bloated extensions, or server config - and fix it.

🚧

"Our last developer left a mess."

I inherit broken shops regularly. Spaghetti code, hacked core files, outdated extensions - I've seen it all and I know how to clean it up without breaking what works.

🚀

"We need a custom feature - fast."

Custom pricing logic, complex product configurations, third-party API integrations, checkout modifications - I build what off-the-shelf extensions can't deliver.

🔒

"We need someone reliable for ongoing work."

Updates, security patches, bug fixes, small features - I become your go-to Magento developer. No agency overhead, no ticket queues. Direct communication, fast turnaround.

About Me

I started working with Magento in 2009, back when it was still version 1.3. Since then, I've done nothing but Magento - through every major version, every breaking change, every paradigm shift in e-commerce.

I work as a remote freelancer - no agency, no project managers, no middlemen. When you hire me, you talk directly to the person writing your code. That means faster decisions, fewer misunderstandings, and better results.

Whether it's a two-hour bugfix or a six-month ongoing engagement - I bring the same level of care and professionalism to every project.

FAQ

It ranges from quick tasks (a few hours) to ongoing monthly retainers. Most clients start with a small task to test the collaboration, and many stay for months or years. There's no minimum project size.

Rates depend on the scope, complexity, and duration of the project. Send me a brief description and I'll give you a transparent quote within 24 hours - no obligation, no hidden costs.

My focus is on Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce. I can help with Magento 1 maintenance, but I strongly recommend migrating to Magento 2 - and I can help with that too.

I'm based in the CET/CEST timezone (Germany), but I'm flexible and have worked with clients across Europe, the US, and Asia. Communication is asynchronous-friendly - I won't block your progress.

Absolutely. I integrate into existing workflows - Git, Jira, Slack, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines. I follow your team's coding standards and processes.

No. I only do Magento / Adobe Commerce. That's what 17 years of specialization means - I'm not a generalist, I'm the person you call when you need someone who knows Magento inside out.
