Senior PHP Developer | Symfony, Laravel, WordPress & API Integration

Need a PHP developer who can fix, upgrade or extend your existing app without breaking it? I'm a Top Rated senior PHP developer (100% Job Success, 40+ Upwork projects) specializing in Symfony, Laravel and WordPress. Most recently, I built production microservices for a major European health-tech company on PHP 8.4 and Symfony 7.4, using Domain-Driven Design, async messaging, multi-tenant integrations, Docker and GitLab CI/CD. I bring the same standards to projects of any size. WHAT CLIENTS HIRE ME FOR • Bug fixing & rescue: take over existing or half-finished codebases, find the root cause, and stabilize production issues • Upgrades & migrations: PHP 7 to 8, Symfony 4/5 to 7, Laravel upgrades, and legacy or CodeIgniter apps to Laravel or Symfony • APIs & integrations: REST APIs, webhooks, Stripe and payment gateways, CRMs, and third-party services • Custom web apps: admin panels, dashboards, SaaS features, and internal tools with Symfony, Laravel and Vue.js • WordPress & WooCommerce: custom plugins, ACF/Timber/Twig themes, checkout and payment fixes, and turning designs or AI-built prototypes into WordPress sites • AI integration: LLM features with Claude and OpenAI, document and data extraction, and AI-assisted pricing and workflow automation in PHP apps I use Claude Code and Cursor to deliver faster, while every line is reviewed, tested and maintainable. WHAT CLIENTS SAY "Simply the best freelancer I've come across... very clear on what he can achieve." "Fantastic responsiveness, great work, very skilled. Rock solid freelancer." "He has a solid understanding of Symfony and PHP and consistently delivered reliable code." HOW I WORK • Clear plan and estimate before I start • Regular updates and no surprises on hours • Clean, documented code your team can maintain • Fluent English and French, native Arabic Send me your project details or codebase. I'll reply with a concrete plan and estimate.
