About

Senior Laravel Developer

I build reliable, scalable web applications and backend systems for businesses that need more than an off-the-shelf website.

About Me

I started working professionally with web technologies in 2020 and have focused my development career on PHP and Laravel.

Laravel is at the center of my work. I use it to build applications with clear architecture, maintainable code, robust APIs, authentication, databases, integrations, and business logic that can evolve as a project grows.

I also work across the frontend and infrastructure when a project requires it, using technologies such as Vue, Inertia, Livewire, Tailwind CSS, MySQL, Statamic, and Filament.

More recently, I've been exploring how AI and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can be integrated into Laravel applications, so applications can interact with data, APIs, and business workflows in new ways.

My approach is simple: understand the business problem first, then build the technology around it.

Background

Experience

  1. 2020 — Present

    Laravel / PHP Development

    My work focuses primarily on Laravel-based applications, from new projects and custom platforms to existing applications that need modernization, new functionality, or better architecture.

    I've worked across different types of applications, including business platforms, e-commerce systems, content-driven websites, APIs, and AI-powered applications.

    A large part of my work involves taking an idea or business requirement and turning it into a working, maintainable application.

Process

How I Work

  1. 01

    Understand

    I start by understanding the business, the users, and the problem the application needs to solve.

  2. 02

    Plan

    I define the application structure, data model, integrations, and technical approach before implementation.

  3. 03

    Build

    I develop the application with a focus on clean architecture, maintainability, performance, and security.

  4. 04

    Improve

    After launch, applications can evolve. I work on new features, integrations, performance improvements, and technical modernization as requirements change.
