PHP & Laravel
development _
Senior, hands-on Laravel development — without the agency overhead. I design, build and ship maintainable web applications and APIs that are built to run for years, not just to demo.

Capabilities
Laravel Web Applications
End-to-end product builds — auth, billing, dashboards, admin panels. Eloquent models, queues, events and a test suite that lets you ship on Fridays.
APIs & Integrations
REST and JSON APIs, third-party integrations, webhooks and payment gateways. Versioned, documented and rate-limited the way they should be.
Database Engineering
Schema design, migrations, indexing and query tuning across MySQL and PostgreSQL. Performance that holds up when traffic shows up.
Legacy Rescue & Refactors
Inherited a tangled PHP codebase? I stabilise, modernise and bring it under test without a risky big-bang rewrite.
Frontend & Tooling
JavaScript/TypeScript, Astro and Blade. Fast, accessible interfaces and the CI/CD plumbing to deploy them confidently.
AI-Augmented Features
LLM features wired into your app — search, summarisation, assistants — backed by clean data pipelines and sensible guardrails.
// how it runs
A predictable process
discover
We scope the problem, constraints and success metrics. No fluff, just a clear target.
architect
Data model, stack and milestones agreed up front so there are no surprises mid-build.
build
Iterative delivery in small, reviewable slices. You see progress every week.
ship
Tests, deploy, monitoring and handover docs. Plus support while it beds in.
// toolbox
The stack I reach for
// ready when you are
Got a build in mind? Let's scope it.
Whether it's a greenfield Laravel app or rescuing something that's drifting, send the details and I'll come back with a clear plan.
