Hi, my name is Erik Pöhler. I'm a web veteran with 18 years of experience in the field.
I help individuals, small to medium-sized businesses and large corporations create engaging and successful websites and online stores.
My specialties are e-commerce, online payments, content management and the implementation of third party applications and services, such as APIs, CRMs & ERPs.
I share what I learn in my blog where I occasionally publish articles and tutorials about web development and specific platforms.

Erik was website developer and internet guru for several very critical projects. I always found him to be an absolute delight to work with on the projects where I needed his expertise. He was highly responsive and conscientious. A remarkable quality in a busy office where we often had to juggle multiple projects. I very much enjoyed having him as webmaster.

Erik was responsible for mainly backend-related programming such as implementing new payment gateways for various latin american countries and he maintained and improved existing payment methods. I also assigned him to develop a custom IVR implementation used to protect customers' credit card data. He also refactored our automated commercial invoicing system. He works very structured and organized and always exceeded expectations.

Erik is a proactive, thorough and tireless developer with attention to detail. He is open minded, has a great will to help and a rich set of abilities. I helped Erik and his collegues to setup Dafiti Mexico shopping platform. Erik implemented interfaces to several payment providers. Erik exceeded expectations in all tasks handed to him. He also discovered some issues in the core system we had to adopt. Erik completed all assignments on time and never failed to impress with great solutions.

In 2013 Erik contracted my Freelancer services for his Adobe CQ5/AEM team at Televisa for NA-AT Technologies. We were working together on the CMS. He helped me getting started quickly, explaining implementation details and making sure I have access to all the information and infrastructure I needed for my work. I was impressed by his profound knowledge of best practices for HTML, CSS and JS development, code analysis and testing. He refactored the CQ5 clientlibs – using his own prototyping framework, which reduced the size of frontend resources by 60-70% and implemented Bootstrap and SASS.

By Erik. Erik Pöhler's Weblog.Let's say you have a PHP Project that is based on Composer. You have found a bug in a vendor package and you need to fix it. What do you do? In this article I want to list a couple of options you have and outline differences, as well as look at each options Pros and Cons.
By Erik. Erik Pöhler's Weblog.Git hooks are scripts that run automatically every time a particular event occurs in a Git repository. They let you customize Git's internal behavior and trigger customizable actions at key points in the development life cycle.
By Erik. Erik Pöhler's Weblog.If you have installed Gitlab to use a subdomain such as gitlab.example.com you can activate Gitlab Pages on the same server quite easily: I did actually run into OAuth errors, initially. This was caused by Gitlab Settings in the Admin area. Head to Admin > Applications and click the Edit icon next to Gitlab Pages. […]
By Erik. Erik Pöhler's Weblog.Recently, I've been playing around with NativePHP a Laravel package that is currently in alpha pre-release state. It bridges Laravel and Electron (Tauri support is currently in the making), thus allows building Native Desktop Apps for Windows and MacOS. In short: NativePHP allows you, to turn PHP Applications into Desktop Apps. During build, NativePHP bundles a PHP binary together with PHP Code. The binary executes PHP just like a server would. It needs to be specific for Operating System and Processor Architecture.
By Erik. Erik Pöhler's Weblog.While preferring virtualised development environments using Docker and DDEV, sometimes I work with projects that utilise the Symfony CLI, Valet or PHPs built-in web server. What all of these have in common: they use the locally installed PHP on your macOS. Here's how I added xdebug to it on a Apple Silicon.
By Erik. Erik Pöhler's Weblog.I use open-source software everyday. Giving back to open-source communities is important to me. I improve existing code by reporting and fixing bugs. I develop new features, design themes or simply help other users.
