As product owner of the development team, I have worked a lot with Nic and have gotten to know him as a professional software engineer with a lot of passion and experience. Nic is a real team player, a stable force in the team, is sociable and social, but also critical and honest. Quality is very important to Nic, so he will always look for the most future-proof solution, but within the project and budget constraints. I hope to work with Nic more often in the future!

Symfony consulting services

I think along with the challenges of my clients, so every collaboration is different. Below you'll find the most common questions I help businesses with. Every situation is unique, so feel free to reach out if your question isn't listed here.

Symfony audit

Is your Symfony application maintainable, secure and up-to-date? An independent review of your application code provides insight into the quality and security of your application. We can then work together to create a plan to improve the quality of your application.

Architecture

For more complex applications, applying the standard Symfony architecture can lead to unwanted complexity. Together we can design the optimal way to structure your Symfony application.

Test automation

When making changes to your application code, you want to be sure that existing functionality continues to work. With the help of test frameworks such as PHPUnit and Behat, we can write automated tests to validate the logic in your code.

Internationalization

Developing multilingual applications brings various challenges such as managing translations and applying localized date formats. With the help of various Symfony components, we can prepare your application for an international market.

Refactoring and migration

Outdated 'legacy' code can slow down the development of new functionality in your application. By refactoring the code and migrating to a newer version of Symfony, we can improve the quality of the code and speed up future development efforts.

Why hire Nic as a Symfony consultant?

As a Symfony consultant, I don't work as an extension of your team to clock in hours. Instead, I come with a specific goal: to improve your situation and transfer Symfony knowledge so that your team can move forward independently. In this way, I have already helped various development teams and organizations.

How does it work?

Discovery

During a free discovery meeting, you tell me what challenges you're facing. Together we determine whether and how I can help.

Tailored proposal

Based on our first conversation — and if needed, some additional research — I put together a proposal with a clear plan of action.

Execution

I support you during the execution of the plan. Not as an extra developer, but by thinking along, guiding and advising.

Evaluation & adjustment

We regularly take a step back to assess what's working and what isn't. We adapt the approach as the team grows and the situation evolves.

Completion

Every good collaboration has a natural ending point. My work is successful the moment you no longer need me.

On-site Symfony-consulting

For more complex issues a personal conversation is often more effective than an online video call. I am happy to come to your location for a half or full working day Symfony consult. Due to the central location of Amersfoort, I can easily reach most locations in the Netherlands including major cities such as Amsterdam and Utrecht. Upon request, consulting in surrounding countries (such as Belgium or Germany) is also possible. Request a quote to get a proposal for consulting at your location.

Frequently asked questions about Symfony consulting

A short one-hour online consultation costs €140 (excl. VAT). A half-day session of 4 hours costs €520 (excl. VAT). For longer engagements, ongoing collaboration, or on-site advice, I'm happy to send you a tailored proposal. Get in touch for a quote.

Absolutely! In the Netherlands there are laws which are meant to counter false self-employment, where someone is an independent contractor on paper but in reality is treated as an employee. The independence of a contractor is assessed by examining the nature of the work, whether there is a relationship of authority, and the degree of embedding in your organization. Due to my independent role and my specific expertise, it is highly unlikely that our collaboration will be considered as employment.

You can schedule an online consult directly in my calendar. For longer engagements we will discuss during our first introduction when I can start.

The duration of Symfony consulting ranges from an hour for a specific question to multiple months for an extended project. During our first introduction we will discuss your situation and estimate how long your project will take.

Absolutely, a meeting at your location is possible anywhere in the Netherlands. Get in touch to discuss the possibilities and to receive a custom quote.
