I build, rescue and upgrade the software your business runs on

Yes. You deal with one person, and that person does the work. If a job needs more hands than mine, I say so before we start. I stick to standard frameworks and write tests and documentation, so another developer can always pick up where I left off.

I lived in the Netherlands for 34 years and speak Dutch fluently. I am one hour ahead of Central Europe and reachable during Dutch office hours; with the US East Coast I share the afternoon. You get a contract and an invoice from my EU company, and for a kick-off or workshop I can come to the Netherlands.

Yes, as a fast pair of hands, under rules I wrote myself: project instructions, static analysis, linters and a CI pipeline that blocks anything that does not pass. I review and correct every change. Most of my 15 years were before these tools existed, so I know what the code should look like.

The code review is a fixed €950. A project with a clear scope gets one fixed price in a written quote, with milestones. Open-ended work, such as maintenance or joining your team, is billed per hour. You always know the price before I start.

That is a large part of my work. I first read the code and write down how it works, then cover it with tests, and only then change it. Systems without documentation, on old PHP versions, with the original developer gone: that is the normal case, not the exception.

If you want that, yes. I manage my own servers at a Dutch hosting provider, with deployment, backups and monitoring. For sensitive data I set up a separate environment. You can also keep it with your own hosting party; then I deliver to that.
