A plugin is causing trouble, a migration is stuck, performance is slow or a process does not fit the Shopware standard.

When Shopware needs more than quick fixes
Technical Shopware work needs someone who can get into the project quickly and cleanly.
No black box
You get technical assessment, clear next steps and implementation that does not become the next maintenance problem.
Direct communication
You speak with the developer who understands and implements the work. That reduces handovers, delays and misunderstandings.

Process
How a request becomes a reliable plan
- Briefly describe it Shopware version, problem, goal and timeframe are enough for the first step.
- Technical assessment I check whether I can help in a useful way and which risks or dependencies are already visible.
- Clarify priorities We sort effort, urgency and the cleanest path toward implementation.
- Implement and hand over Code, communication and handover stay traceable so your store does not depend on hidden knowledge.
Good fit
This is especially suitable
- You need experienced Shopware and PHP support without a large agency setup.
- You have an existing system and want to reduce technical debt in a focused way.
- You want a freelancer who also says clearly when another path makes more sense.
Not ideal if...
you are looking for a full-service agency with design, SEA, editorial work and a large project management layer. I am strongest where technical Shopware work really has to count.

FAQ
Common questions before requesting
What kind of Shopware projects can I request you for?
You can request support for Shopware 5 and Shopware 6, including plugin development, migrations, technical maintenance, performance optimization, interfaces and further development of existing stores.
Do you work directly with merchants, agencies and recruiters?
Yes. I work directly with store owners, as a technical partner for agencies, and through recruiters or intermediaries when the scope and conditions are clear.
How quickly are you available?
I am usually available at short notice and can quickly assess whether a request is a good technical and timing fit. For urgent topics, a short summary with Shopware version, problem and desired timeframe helps.
Can you join existing projects?
Yes. Existing Shopware projects, grown plugin landscapes and technical debt are typical situations. I first check what is already there before recommending a path forward.
Does the request need to be perfectly prepared?
No. For the first contact, Shopware version, goal or problem, desired timeframe and, if possible, a store URL are enough. We can clarify the details in a structured way afterwards.
