Migrate to Laravel
Your legacy PHP application is holding you back. Outdated framework, no structure, impossible to add features. Time to migrate to Laravel.
Sound Familiar?
Legacy codebase nobody wants to touch
Can't find developers who know the old framework
Simple features take weeks to add
Security vulnerabilities you can't patch
Performance issues with no clear fix
How I Can Help
Assess current application and data
Plan incremental migration strategy
Migrate critical features first
Keep old system running during transition
Zero-downtime switchover
Decommission legacy system safely
Migration doesn't have to be a big bang. The safest approach is incremental: new features in Laravel, gradually migrate old ones, until the legacy system can be switched off.
I've migrated applications from WordPress, CodeIgniter, Symfony, and pure spaghetti PHP. The process is similar: understand the data model, replicate business logic, migrate feature by feature.
The goal is zero downtime and zero lost data. Users shouldn't notice the switch. Then you're on modern infrastructure that developers actually want to work on.

What Clients Say
"Stu gets AI development. He's fast, clever about what to automate, and ships real working tools. Most developers talk about AI - Stu actually builds with it."
"One of the things most organisations struggle with is finding that 'bridge' type of resource — someone who can speak product, understand the business, and shape the technical flow for today while keeping an eye firmly on tomorrow. Stu, on multiple occasions where I've hired him over the last 15 years, has been that guy. His consultative skills — listening, challenging back, and shaping technical solutions around what he hears — are second to none. His time management and expectation-setting are spot on too. He'll tell you where the risks are in the new and the unknown, so you're never left biting your nails in the dark. He lives and breathes tech, early-adopts just for the hell of it, but never oversells anything until it's genuinely safe and ready to use."
"Stu delivers. Quick turnaround, high quality, no fuss. He embeds into the team properly - standups, Teams, the lot - and he's been ahead of the curve on AI tooling, both in the apps we build and in how he works. Reliable, fast, and genuinely good to work with."
