I am Bram Van der Sype, a freelance software engineer.

Engineering

I build reliable, well-structured applications. I am intimately familiar with PHP, but also know my way around JavaScript/Typescript and frontend frameworks like React. I care about writing code that is readable, testable, and built to last.

Software Design & Domain‐Driven Design

Good software starts with a clear understanding of the problem it solves. I help teams think through the design of their systems upfront, using Domain‐Driven Design (DDD) principles to align the code with the business domain. I can help you run Event Storming sessions or coach your teams in understanding the business needs more deeply.

Auditing & Review

Sometimes you need an outside perspective on the health of a codebase. I can review your project and provide an honest assessment of where it stands — covering code quality, architecture, test coverage, dependency health, and adherence to general best practices. The result is a best‐effort picture of what is working, what is not, and where to focus your efforts.

Static Analysis

Static analysis tools can surface bugs, type errors, and code smells without running a single line of code. I have extensive experience setting up and configuring static analysis tools in PHP projects.

Legacy Code & Refactoring

All codebases age. What starts as clean, pragmatic code tends to accumulate technical debt over time, making changes slow, risky, and frustrating for everyone involved. I can help you understand your legacy codebase, introduce tests where there are none, and incrementally refactor towards a healthier state without stopping the world to do it.
