Mateusz Micał

I've been building web applications professionally since 2014. Backend-heavy work — PHP, Laravel, MySQL — but the frontend, infrastructure, and data layer are never far away. I take on complex systems and prefer projects where doing it properly matters more than doing it fast.

Services I Offer

Custom Application Development

Full-stack development from data model through deployment. Architecture first, then backend, then a frontend that won't need to be rebuilt in two years. Best fit for projects where the complexity is known upfront.

  • PHP-Based Solutions

    WordPress, PrestaShop, Laravel — custom themes, modules, APIs, and legacy modernization.

  • Technical Consulting & Code Review

    Code audits, architecture reviews, performance consulting, and technical guidance.

  • SEO & Web Performance Optimization

    Technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and page speed optimization.

  • DevOps & Server Administration

    Linux servers, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and Cloudflare — setup, configuration, and ongoing management.

  • Database Design & Optimization

    MySQL and PostgreSQL — schema design, query optimization, and migration assistance.

Professional Background

A decade of professional work has clarified what I'm built for: PHP systems that need to stay correct and maintainable over years, not just ship. Most of my longer client relationships started with a single project and expanded because the first delivery held up. I've spent enough time in inherited codebases to know exactly what I'm building against.

Got a system that needs careful attention? I work best with complex, long-running projects. Let's talk.
