15+ years PHP · Tech Lead background · AI-native with Claude Code

Software that lasts.
Year after year.

I've been writing PHP since 2009 and running EasyWebSystems since 2013. Most recently Tech Lead at Goodwings; before that senior backend at Waitly, and sole developer on EDBPriser, a Danish price comparison platform that was acquired by PriceRunner (and later Klarna). I build Laravel systems, integrations, and AWS infrastructure, directly, no middlemen.

What I do.

01.ACore service

Backend in Laravel.

Custom systems built for long-term maintainability. Clear architecture, readable code, what holds when data grows and requirements shift.

01.BConnecting systems

API integrations.

e-conomic, your inventory, your webshop, your CRM, all speaking the same language. Built robust with retries, logging, and proper error handling.

AWS hosting.

Hosting that doesn't need attention. Backups, monitoring, updates, automated and documented in the background. You call when you want to build, not when something breaks.

04 / about

Direct access. No middlemen.

The person who writes the proposal is the one who writes the code.

I don't sell project management, I sell the work itself. EasyWebSystems is one person: me. That means shorter feedback loops, fewer meetings, and the person answering your email two years from now is the same person who built the system.

Pragmatic generalist with Tech Lead background. I move across DevOps, infrastructure, backend, frontend, and integrations as the work requires. AI-native, I use Claude Code daily, which gives me the pace of a team and the control of a solo developer.
