Hello, I’m Patryk 👋

I develop and maintain web applications

I specialize in PHP / Symfony systems (including legacy), requiring stability, evolution, and safe changes.

Patryk

Companies I work with:

Have an existing PHP-based system (Symfony)
Have been developing their product for years
Struggle with bugs, instability, or performance issues
Need safe changes in a live production system

I support companies of all sizes in building, evolving, and modernizing websites, e-commerce platforms, and web applications — ensuring they are fast, stable, and maintainable.

Selected projects

Context

System used daily by employees and HR teams

Challenge

Complex system developed over years, including legacy components

My role

  • backend development (Symfony)
  • refactoring and architecture improvements
  • stabilization of CRON processes

Outcome

  • improved system stability
  • fewer production issues
  • easier development of new features

Context

Processing employee data and communication with external services

Challenge

Need for improved performance and updated integration processes

My role

  • design and implementation of API integrations
  • structuring data flow between systems
  • improving error handling in communication

Outcome

  • reduction of manual errors
  • improved data consistency

Context

Need for regular financial and operational reports

Challenge

Time-consuming and error-prone manual reporting

My role

  • design of the reporting process
  • automation using scheduled jobs (CRON)
  • ensuring data consistency and delivery timing

Outcome

  • reports delivered on schedule
  • elimination of manual workload
  • better business decisions based on data

Context

Applications based on multiple and partially outdated systems

Challenge

Limited maintainability and restricted evolution

My role

  • gradual system modernization and issue resolution
  • updates and improvements in Symfony components
  • code structure improvements and risk reduction

Outcome

  • improved maintainability
  • better conditions for further development
  • reduced exposure to security risks

I combine usability, reliability, and clean implementation with clear communication and a practical understanding of business needs.

I work with systems that:

have been running for years and are business-critical
require stability and predictability
cannot afford downtime

Experience working with Symfony-based systems as well as legacy frameworks (Zend and others), often coexisting within the same environment

How I work

I understand the system before making changes
I reduce risks rather than introducing them
I clearly communicate technical decisions and their impact
I focus on long-term stability

Whether it is modernizing a legacy system, improving an existing application, or building a new solution — I focus on quality and long-term results.
