About this gig

Slow queries, a 3000 line controller, a queue that silently drops jobs, an API nobody documented. I fix that, and I build the backends that do not get into that state in the first place.


WHAT I DO

  • New Laravel applications and REST APIs, built to be maintained
  • Rescue and refactor of legacy Laravel, Symfony or plain PHP projects
  • Performance work: N+1 queries, indexes, caching, queues, Horizon
  • Integrations: Stripe, ERP, CRM, shipping, external APIs, webhooks
  • Multi-tenant SaaS, roles and permissions, admin panels (Filament, Nova)
  • Upgrades to current Laravel and PHP versions, tests, CI/CD, Docker


HOW I WORK

  1. Audit of the codebase and a written, honest report on what is wrong
  2. Plan with priorities: what to fix now, what can wait, what to rewrite
  3. Implementation in small reviewable pull requests
  4. Tests on critical paths, documentation, deploy pipeline


STACK

PHP 8, Laravel, Symfony, NestJS, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Docker, AWS, GitHub Actions, PHPUnit, Pest.


WHY ME

13+ years on PHP and Laravel systems in production, 40+ projects delivered at 4.9. I tell you when a rewrite is not worth it.


Send me the repository or a description and I will quote scope and timeline.
