About Devtide
A boutique software architecture consultancy helping engineering teams build systems that scale, without the bloat of a big agency.
Meet Silas Joisten
Devtide was founded by Silas Joisten, a software architect with over 10 years of experience in the PHP and Symfony ecosystem.
Silas is an active open-source contributor and a recognised voice in the Symfony community. He has helped startups, mid-size companies, and enterprises untangle complex systems, modernise legacy codebases, and adopt architectures that let teams ship with confidence.
Based in Limassol, Cyprus, Devtide works with clients across Europe and beyond, remotely by default, on-site when it matters.
Who You'll Work With
A small, senior team. No juniors in disguise, no offshore handoffs. The people you meet in the first call are the people who ship your work.
