Welcome to The Magento Expert. I am glad you found your way here! Perhaps you have a problem with your Magento or Adobe Commerce store that you cannot, or simply do not want to, solve on your own. Or you may be looking for a reliable partner for your Magento project.
You are not alone. Every month, visitors come here looking for solutions to specific Magento problems or for an experienced developer to support an upcoming Magento or Adobe Commerce project. Many smaller problems can be solved directly, and free of charge, using the solutions and practical explanations published on this website.
More complex Magento projects and problems, however, often require a sound, maintainable solution rather than a quick workaround. This is where an experienced Magento developer can help: someone who knows the platform inside out and understands how its components fit together. Whether you need a Magento developer, professional Magento consulting or an independent alternative to a traditional Magento agency, the important thing is to find the right expert for your particular project.
Let me introduce myself. (Quick overview)
My name is Andreas Golchert. I was born in 1979 and have 26 years of experience in software development, including Perl, PHP, Java and Microsoft .NET.
I have led software development teams in established companies in the banking sector, worked as a developer at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, and gained international experience in Oslo, Norway.
For more than 15 years, I have worked intensively with Magento. Over the years, I have become thoroughly familiar with Magento’s configuration options and developed many custom extensions at source-code level. My guiding principle has always been: “Follow Magento conventions!“. That approach helps keep Magento stores maintainable and extensible without sacrificing the functions already in place.
