Five DevsContact

Writing PHP since 2010

The PHP help your e-commerce and 3PL actually need.

Hi, I’m Chris. For over 15 years I have been building mission-critical glue between online stores and warehouses. I’ve also built several B2B apps that have been quietly and effectively running companies that you depend on.

What I do

Senior software development

No agency. No junior devs. You hire me, you get me and the decades of experience that come with.

  • 01

    E-commerce + 3PL integrations

    Order import, inventory sync, label generation, EDI bridges, all the processes that nobody wants to touch. I build it correctly and keep it boring. Boring equals stable.

  • 02

    Legacy PHP rescue

    Old Yii2, Magento, custom CodeIgniter, Symfony 4 stuck on EOL. I will ship the upgrade without a six-month rewrite project.

  • 03

    On-call tech support

    Fast help when production breaks at 4pm on a Tuesday. Returned phone calls, root-caused bugs, post-mortems your team can use.

  • 04

    Greenfield internal apps

    From idea to running tool in weeks: Laravel, Symfony, Vue, anything you need to get up and running for an MVP.

Quick start

Self-serve, two options to pick.

No discovery call required if you’re ready to go.

Promises in writing

Four guarantees on every engagement.

The freelance market is full of vague promises. Mine are written down so we both have them.

  • 01

    30-day money back

    If your first month on a retainer or block doesn't fit, you get back any hours you haven't used. The risk to perform is on me.

  • 02

    30-day bug-fix window

    Bugs in code I ship are fixed at no charge for 30 days after handoff. I own any mistakes and will correct them.

  • 03

    One business day response

    Every retainer and block client gets a real reply inside one business day. Not a ticket number, not an out-of-office.

  • 04

    You own everything

    Code, docs, infra, accounts. Full IP transfer in writing. No subcontracting, no vendor lock-in, no surprises.

Let’s talk

Have a software project that’s been on the back burner?

Twenty minutes, no pitch deck. Tell me what’s broken or stuck and I’ll tell you whether I can help and what it would take.
