Igor Pinchuk

I work on legacy systems — the ones that outlived their original authors and that nobody on the team wants to touch. Audits, refactoring, performance, and untangling business logic that grew for a decade without a plan.

Mostly PHP and Symfony, 15+ years. Based in Bali (UTC+8), working async with teams in Europe and the UK.

Packages in production

My open-source libraries have been installed ~71,000 times on Packagist.

Package Installs What it does
expert-sender-api 35,600+ PHP client for the ExpertSender API
composer-symlinks 22,000+ Relative symlinks from Composer scripts
offset-page-logic 6,400+ Offset/limit ↔ page/page-size conversion
offset-page 6,200+ Page-based APIs → offset-based pagination
minjust 670+ Parser for the RF Ministry of Justice registry

Recent work:

  • cqrs — Symfony bundle wiring Command, Query and Event buses on top of Messenger. Attribute-based handler discovery, configurable stamp pipeline, PHPStan level 8.
  • p2p-path-finder — toolkit for discovering optimal peer-to-peer conversion paths. Deterministic arithmetic, clean domain/application separation.
  • correlation-id — PSR-15 middleware for correlation ID propagation. Symfony 6/7 or any PSR-15 stack.
  • dsx — sync files between a Claude Design project and a local directory without the bytes passing through a model's context. Single Go binary, stdlib only.

What I take on

Legacy audit. A written report on a codebase you inherited: module map, risk areas, upgrade path, prioritised debt. Fixed price, fixed timeline.

Rescue and refactoring. Bringing an aging system back under control — PHP and Symfony upgrades, decomposition, test coverage where there was none.

Performance. Finding out why it got slow, and making it not slow.

I work in writing, asynchronously. Time zone overlap with Europe covers the European morning.

Stack

PHP · Symfony · Doctrine · PostgreSQL · MySQL · Redis · Elasticsearch · RabbitMQ · Kafka · Docker · Kubernetes · Terraform · Go · TypeScript · Node · AWS

Day to day I lean heavily on AI agent orchestration — it is how a single engineer covers ground that used to take a team.

Happy to look at a codebase and tell you what I see. Written questions get written answers — no discovery call required.
