04 / good fit

This contract works best if you...

When to hire me directly

Need a senior Laravel developer who delivers production-ready code, not a junior who needs supervision
Want a direct contract without an agency taking 30-50% off the top
Value continuity, same person at start and end of engagement, no rotating substitutes
Prefer EU-based contractors for compliance, time zone, or jurisdiction reasons
Have a specific Laravel/PHP need, not a generic "full team" requirement

I'm a solo contractor, not a team. If you need a development team of 5+ people, I'm not your fit and there are great agencies that can help. If you need one experienced senior who treats your code like their own, that's what I do.
