Ecommerce Platforms
Platform Development
Custom module development, theme work, and deep backend logic for the ecommerce platform your store runs on. Magento and OpenMage LTS today - built to extend to additional platforms without changing how I work.
Background
I've been working inside Magento 1 codebases since 2017 - first as a working student at a German Software Development Agency in Rosenheim, then as Head of E-Commerce & Software Development leading the entire ecommerce development team. Since January 2026 I work independently through CoreCommerce Technologies, serving clients across the DACH region.
Most developers avoid Magento 1 today. I've chosen to specialise in it precisely because the demand for genuinely skilled M1/OpenMage engineers is high and the supply is low. Magento and OpenMage are where that specialisation runs deepest today - the same platform-development approach extends to additional ecommerce platforms as projects call for it.
What I Deliver
Custom Module Development
B2B pricing rules, discount logic, and workflow automation - built clean, following Magento coding standards.
Theme & Frontend Work
Custom themes, responsive layouts, checkout flow adjustments, and frontend performance work.
Multi-Store & Multi-Language Setups
Multi-website, multi-store, multi-language configurations with correct hreflang and store-specific URL routing.
EAV-Level Backend Logic
Custom attribute models and complex catalog logic that off-the-shelf extensions can't express.
Checkout & Catalog Customisation
Custom checkout steps, product types, and catalog behaviour built around how your business actually sells.
Built to Extend
Magento and OpenMage today - the same platform-development approach extends naturally to Shopware, Shopify, and other ecommerce platforms.
Why OpenMage LTS Is a Valid Long-Term Choice
Magento 1 reached official end-of-life in 2020, but the OpenMage LTS community fork has kept the platform alive with regular security patches, PHP 8.x compatibility work, and active maintenance. Thousands of stores continue to generate millions in revenue on this platform.
For many merchants, a well-maintained OpenMage store is more cost-effective than a Magento 2 migration - which typically costs €50k–€200k+ and often delivers a worse result. I'm upfront about when migration actually makes sense and when it doesn't.
