Contract PHP Developer
Practical PHP development for businesses that need features shipped, bugs fixed, and legacy systems made easier to trust.
Metrotech Studio provides contract PHP development for custom business applications, WordPress and WooCommerce extensions, admin tools, API integrations, reporting systems, and MySQL-backed workflows. The work is focused on readable code, low-drama deployment, and changes that make sense to the next developer who opens the project.
Common projects include building backend features, repairing old PHP code, improving database access, connecting third-party APIs, moving code to newer PHP versions, and replacing fragile manual steps with reliable application logic.

How the Work Stays Maintainable
Every project starts with the existing system. I look at the current structure, constraints, hosting environment, and business priority before recommending a fix. When a small patch is enough, I keep it small. When the code needs a stronger foundation, I explain the tradeoffs clearly.
