My favorite stack is Laravel on the backend and Vue.js or React on the frontend, connected with Inertia.js and styled with TailwindCSS. I’ve been working with this combination since Inertia.js was released, around 2019.
I’m also comfortable working with Livewire and FilamentPHP. Essentially, if it’s part of the Laravel ecosystem, I can work with it.
Where I fit
I work best with startups, agencies, and small product teams that need senior Laravel help without hiring a full-time developer. That might mean owning a build from the first commit, joining an existing team to move faster, or taking over a codebase that needs steadier hands.
The work usually spans database design, application architecture, back-end features, front-end interfaces, third-party integrations, and deployment. I can move across the full stack without turning every decision into a handoff.
What this looks like in practice
I handle the whole thing. Database design, back-end logic, front-end interfaces, third-party integrations, deployment. If you need a web application built, I can take it from the first commit to something running in production.
I write code that’s straightforward to work with. Not over-engineered, not patched together. I keep things as simple as the problem allows and add complexity only when there’s a reason for it. Every project also gets a CI/CD pipeline set up from the start — deploying should be a non-event.
Technologies I use most
Laravel, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Vue, React, Inertia.js, Livewire, FilamentPHP, TailwindCSS, Stripe, queues, scheduled jobs, APIs, and deployment workflows.
Outcomes I focus on
The goal is not just to ship features. The goal is to leave you with an application that is understandable, reliable, and easy to keep improving. That means clear code, sensible boundaries, useful error handling, and a deployment process that does not depend on luck.
Who it’s for
Startups that need a developer who can own a project without a lot of back and forth. Agencies with client work that needs doing. Teams that need an extra pair of hands on something specific.
If you have something you need built, I’d be happy to hear about it.
Questions I can help answer
Can you work inside an existing Laravel app?
Yes. A lot of freelance work is improving or extending an application that already exists. I can start with a codebase review, identify the riskiest areas, and then work through features or refactors in a controlled way.
Do you only build Laravel applications?
Laravel is my strongest back-end stack, but I also work comfortably across JavaScript front ends, APIs, integrations, and deployment. If Laravel is the core of the product, I can usually handle the surrounding pieces too.
