Code Review & Technical Second Opinion

Without in-house developers, technical decisions have to be made on trust: Is the agency's quote reasonable? Is the code we paid for any good? Is the proposed architecture sensible or just expensive? I give you an independent, understandable assessment – with no stake in the follow-up job and in language you can use in the meeting.

Typical tasks

Code review of delivered work

Plugin, integration or application from an agency or freelancer: quality, security, maintainability, test coverage, adherence to Shopware or Symfony conventions. As a report with concrete findings and priorities.

Evaluate quotes and estimates

You have a €40,000 quote for a feature that seems small to you – or the other way round. I put effort, approach and risks into perspective so you can negotiate or decide.

Architecture second opinion

Headless or not? Custom ERP or standard? Plugin or standalone service? I check proposals against your actual requirements and name the consequences for cost and operation.

Technical due diligence

Before an acquisition, investment or purchase of a store: state of codebase, infrastructure, dependencies, licences and team knowledge – with risks and estimated modernisation effort.

Security check

A targeted review of typical vulnerabilities in PHP applications and Shopware plugins – input validation, permissions, data access, outdated dependencies. Not a full penetration test, but a realistic picture.

Sparring partner for technical questions

Regular short sessions for day-to-day decisions: vendor selection, prioritisation, hosting, security questions. A developer at your side without having to hire one.

What you get

• A written report: findings, ranked by risk, concrete recommendations
• A call where we go through the points – questions explicitly welcome
• On request the implementation of the recommendations, but never as a condition
