Bug fixing for Laravel, Go and Python apps
I find and fix a specific bug in a Laravel, Go or Python app, with diagnosis first and a hard cap on hours. If it runs over the cap you get a written finding and a quote, never a surprise bill. From $195 ($150 founding) for up to 3 hours. Email me the bug and how to reproduce it.
See a sample report, proposal and weekly update- Price
- from $195
- Founding
- from $150
- Timeline
- 2–5 working days
- Format
- Fixed scope, fixed price
- Hours
- US Eastern Time, async
Who this is for.
A good fit if
- Founders whose original developer has moved on
- Small teams with a bug nobody has had time for
- Agencies needing a white-label fix on a supported stack
Common triggers
- A bug that only appears in production
- Errors after a package or runtime upgrade
- Wrong totals, duplicate emails or stuck queue jobs
Not a fit if
- The stack isn’t Laravel, Go or Python
- It’s a WordPress plugin or theme problem
- Production is down right now (book an Urgent Fix)
What I do, and what you get.
What I do
- Reproduce the bug, locally or on staging where possible
- Find the cause and explain it in plain language
- Fix it with the smallest safe change
- Add a test that fails without the fix, where the codebase allows
- Stop at the cap and report if it’s bigger than expected
What you get
- A fix as a pull request or patch
- A regression test where practical
- A short note: cause, fix and anything else I noticed
- Handover notes for deploying it
Your part
- Repo access and a way to run the app (staging or local setup)
- Steps to reproduce, or logs and examples
- Deploying the fix, unless we agree I do it
Included
- Diagnosis and fix within the cap
- Regression test where practical
- Written finding if it runs over the cap
- 14-day fix window on the fix
Not included
- New features
- Other bugs found along the way (listed, not fixed)
- Refactoring
- Unsupported stacks
Fixed prices, agreed before work starts.
One bug, diagnosis and fix
One harder bug or two related ones
Build your scope
- Timeline
- 2–5 working days
- Payment
- Paid in full before work starts
- Earliest start
- Oct 5
Founding price: 3 of 7 spots left, until Mar 31, 2027 — one-off work, in return for a testimonial. How it works
Prices are in USD, paid by bank transfer against an invoice. Work under $1,000 is paid upfront; larger work is 50% to start and 50% before handover, or monthly milestones. How working together works
Variations
- Laravel
- Including its Vue/Inertia front end; the most common case.
- Go and Python services
- Go services and Python (FastAPI, Flask) services follow the same process.
- No staging environment
- I reproduce locally with anonymized data where possible.
How it runs.
- 01
Send the bug
You email the bug, the steps to reproduce it, the stack and versions.
- 02
Cap suggested
I reply within one US business day and suggest a cap.
- 03
Invoice and access
You pay the prepaid invoice, then grant access.
- 04
Diagnose and fix
I diagnose, fix, add a test and write the note.
- 05
Deploy
You deploy (or I do), and the 14-day fix window starts.

Why a cap, not a fixed price?
Nobody knows how deep a bug is before looking. The cap keeps your cost known.
What if you can’t fix it within the cap?
You get the cause (or what I ruled out) and a quote. You decide.
Will you fix other bugs you find?
I list them; fixing them is a new request.
Can you work on code another developer wrote?
Yes, on supported stacks.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes, a simple one.
Ask about Bug Fixing.
Tell me what you have and where it hurts. I reply within one US business day with either a fixed quote or the entry step that makes a fixed quote possible.
Helpful to include
- Stack and versions
- What happens vs what should happen
- Steps to reproduce
- When it started
- Logs or screenshots
- Is a staging environment available?

Urgent Fix
When production is broken, book an Urgent Fix by 12:00 ET on a working day and I start that day. It’s for Laravel, Go and Python apps. From $190 for the 2-hour minimum, then $95 an hour, at most 3 hours a day. It’s working-hours help, not 24/7 on-call. Email with URGENT in the subject.
Hacked App Cleanup
If your Laravel or custom web app has been compromised, I contain it, rebuild it on a clean server from known-good code, rotate every secret and harden the setup. This is a new service: recovery, not forensics or legal work. From $520 ($400 founding), usually 3–8 working days. Email me what you’ve seen.
