Available for defined projects and ongoing development

Laravel development

Laravel applications, built, extended and taken over.

I build new Laravel applications and work inside existing ones: features, integrations, upgrades, performance work and the development that keeps production software moving.

Laravel development

What I can take on.

  1. 01

    Existing Laravel applications

    Step into an application that already has users, history and business rules, then understand it well enough to make useful changes safely.

  2. 02

    Features and integrations

    Take a feature, API connection or backlog item from the business requirement through to production.

  3. 03

    Laravel and PHP upgrades

    Framework, PHP and dependency upgrades, with the surrounding application work needed to complete them responsibly.

  4. 04

    Performance and reliability

    Queries, queues, caching, background jobs, tests, monitoring and the production problems that need careful investigation.

  5. 05

    New Laravel applications

    Custom business software, internal systems and SaaS products built from a clean start.

  6. 06

    Ongoing development

    Consistent senior development for a product or application without adding another full-time hire.

Existing codebases

I do not assume it needs a rewrite.

Most established applications carry history. The useful parts can stay while weak or risky areas are improved as the work moves forward.

  • Understand the existing flows before changing them.
  • Keep useful parts and improve weak areas incrementally.
  • Add tests and monitoring where a change carries real risk.
  • Document the decisions and leave the application easier to continue with.

Experience

Fifteen years in production PHP systems.

I spent five years responsible for the Laravel software behind a Belgian lead-generation business, have worked long term on established Magento and PHP systems, and am currently building a multi-tenant Laravel SaaS product from scratch.
