What your PHP codebase needs
Refocus on your priorities
Every action you make should be about shipping more to keep your customers engaged and happy.
Rely more on the PHP ecosystem
What if you could be responsible for less code and delegate more work to the open source community? That is what PHP is about.
Tests that makes it rock solid
Developers are not robots. When they test their code, they can't realistically know if they broke something somewhere else. Let machines test everything, every time. Tools like PHPUnit make this really easy, and I will show you how.
A fresh perspective
The more time you spend in a codebase, the harder it is to face the real problems. Having a complete stranger looking at it can change the game.

Why you should hire me as your expert PHP consultant
Hey! I'm Benjamin Crozat and I've been a professional web developer for more than 12 years.
I started using PHP in 2006 back when version 4 was still widely used.
Since then, I've worked for countless clients who also chose this veteran scripting language. I've been very active in the community, specifically in the Laravel world, and I wrote countless articles on the topic.
You can learn more about my involvement here, but also on my X account (formerly Twitter), my GitHub, and my LinkedIn.
