Slow Laravel app? Let’s find out why

I help teams figure out why their Laravel app is slow and what to do about it. With AI writing more code than ever, performance issues are slipping through the cracks. I’ve spent 10 years tracking down slow queries and debugging underperforming code. Now I’m a senior engineer at Laravel, building Forge.

How I can help

I run fixed-fee performance and reliability sprints. I'll dig into your production environment, find what's slow or unstable, and fix the things that'll make the biggest difference. Without rewriting your entire application.

  1. 1

    Tell me what's slow

    Email me or jump on a quick call. Timeouts, slow pages, queue issues. The more context, the better.

  2. 2

    Instrument and observe

    I'll add monitoring and collect real production data over a few days. The kind of stuff you can't find by reading code.

  3. 3

    Fix what matters, document the rest

    I'll ship the high-impact fixes. Everything else gets documented so you can decide if it's worth chasing.

$2,500 flat fee. No surprises.
