I’m Joeri Verdeyen.
I build web applications, mostly in Symfony.

Since 2006.

What I do

What companies bring me in for

Web apps & APIs

Custom web applications and APIs, from architecture to deployment. Tested, documented and built to last for years.

  • Symfony
  • PHP
  • API Platform
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • CI/CD
  • DevOps

AI & automation

AI in your existing applications: agents, MCP servers and automated workflows. Only where it actually solves something.

  • Agentic programming
  • AI agents
  • MCP
  • n8n

Legacy & audits

Legacy codebases nobody dares to touch: I upgrade, refactor and document until you can build on them again. I also do audits and performance reviews.

  • PHP 8 upgrades
  • Rector
  • PHPStan
  • Audits

Team augmentation & coaching

A senior embedded in your team: as backend developer, tech lead or coach. For a sprint if needed, but usually long term. I explain technical decisions in language stakeholders understand.

  • Tech lead
  • Code review
  • Testing & QA
  • Coaching

About

digitalride is the company of Joeri Verdeyen

I’m a backend developer from Belgium who cares about solid, maintainable code. Companies bring me in when something actually needs to get built: a new application, an integration between systems, or a codebase that badly needs attention.

I work calmly and thoroughly: understand first, then build, always with tests. Most collaborations are long term: I build, maintain and stay involved as your business changes.
