No, full access is not required for the initial 30-minute audit. You can share specific code snippets via screenshare or describe the problems you're facing. If we decide to work together on a larger project, we can discuss secure access methods then, often via a temporary, read-only account on your Git repository.

I specialize in tackling common Laravel issues like slow performance (database queries, N+1 problems, caching), upgrading older Laravel/PHP versions, fixing complex bugs, improving application architecture for maintainability, implementing automated tests, enhancing security, and updating outdated dependencies safely.

Pricing depends on the project scope and complexity. After the free audit, if you're interested in proceeding, we'll discuss your specific needs and I can provide a detailed proposal with clear deliverables and pricing options (e.g., hourly rate, fixed project fee, or retainer).

I work with both! I can augment existing development teams by providing specialized Laravel expertise, help train your team on best practices, or take on specific refactoring/optimization tasks. I also work directly with businesses or solo developers who need dedicated help improving their Laravel applications.

The "Help Me Now" service is a **paid, 1-hour priority consultation session** designed for urgent issues that require immediate attention. It costs $50 USD and allows you to book a dedicated slot quickly via Calendly for in-depth troubleshooting or guidance.

The free audit is a 30-minute introductory call to discuss your application's general health, identify potential areas for improvement, and see if we're a good fit to work together on larger tasks. It doesn't guarantee immediate problem-solving for urgent situations like the "Help Me Now" session does.
