From Developer to Architect

In 10+ years, I've seen more legacy code than I'd like. From Shopware 4 to PHP 5.3 monoliths without tests. I understand why systems grow like this - and how to rescue them.

My focus is on enterprise-level architecture. No DIY projects, but well-thought-out solutions for complex problems. You don't get a developer to type, but an architect to think.

Häufige Fragen

What does "Fractional Tech Lead" mean?

You rent a technical leader for 1 day per week. Making architecture decisions, conducting code reviews and team mentoring - without full-time costs.

What makes your work "Enterprise-Level"?

Architecture decisions that still work at 10x traffic. Code quality that is maintainable even after 3 years. Documentation that new developers also understand.

Who is this suitable for?

Growing startups without their own tech lead, mid-sized companies without IT department, companies in transition/vacancy or before critical project phases.

What does an architecture audit cost?

The standard audit costs €2,500 flat rate. You receive a 20-30 page report plus 90 minutes presentation of the results.
