Hello to my future clients and collaborators!
I’m Mykhailo — or simply Mike — a Senior Laravel Developer, Full Stack Developer, DevOps expert and Technical Advisor with 13+ years of experience building scalable, secure, and high-performance applications for businesses across the USA and Europe.
Back when I had 5+ years of experience, I focused on clean code, mastering PHP development and diving deep into the Laravel ecosystem.
Now, with over 10 years of hands-on expertise, I lead complex platforms as a full stack developer, guide teams, and implement systems that scale businesses forward — all powered by Laravel and supported by solid DevOps foundations.
🔧 What I Help With:
🔹 Laravel & Full Stack Web Development
I’m a Laravel-focused full stack developer who builds everything from backend logic to modern JavaScript-based interfaces. My role as a full stack developer includes combining elegant UIs with clean, testable backend logic.
I specialize in:
Laravel development with Livewire, Filament, and Symfony
Frontend (Vue.js, React.js, Alpine.js) and Tailwind CSS
MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB integration
Reusable, scalable code patterns and domain-driven design
Clean, optimized PHP development using Laravel best practices
🔹 RESTful & GraphQL API Development
Stripe, Firebase, Xero, Google Drive, Microsoft Graph, OpenAI API integration with Laravel
RESTful & GraphQL API development in Laravel
WebSockets for real-time Laravel applications
Robust API-driven systems implemented with Laravel and PHP
🔹 SaaS Architecture
Full stack Laravel-based SaaS solutions
Scalable backend design in Laravel
Booking systems, multi-tenant apps, admin dashboards
ERP integration, automation — all in Laravel
As a full stack developer, I ensure every SaaS component is seamlessly connected from backend to frontend, and fully supported by DevOps best practices
🔹 DevOps Engineering & Infrastructure
As a seasoned DevOps engineer and full stack developer, I’ve deployed 25+ AWS infrastructures using Terraform and CloudFormation.
I build Dockerized systems with automated pipelines using GitHub Actions and GitLab CI.
Scalable solutions for startups, scaleups, and enterprise — all DevOps-driven and integrated end-to-end by a full stack developer.
I provide:
AWS architecture audits and setup
Auto-scaling group configuration and AWS Load Balancer design
Multi-region AWS deployment with failover strategies
Disaster recovery plans built with AWS S3, RDS snapshots, and Lambda
Secrets and parameter management via AWS Systems Manager and Secrets Manager
Security and access policies (IAM, AWS GuardDuty, Config)
Custom AWS CloudFormation & Terraform modules for repeatable infrastructure
CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions with AWS ECR, ECS, EC2, and Lambda
Monitoring-first DevOps using AWS CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana
Cost optimization across AWS services, leveraging right-sizing and usage reports
🔹 Performance, Monitoring & Code Quality
Code optimization, database tuning, frontend performance in Laravel
Logging with ELK Stack, Prometheus, Grafana for Laravel projects
Testing with PestPHP, PHPUnit for Laravel applications
Git workflows, CI pipelines, and code reviews using Laravel context
Observability pipelines through DevOps tooling
Load testing, alerting, and rollback pipelines — all through a DevOps lens
💡 How I Work as DevOps:
✅ Infrastructure-First: I build secure, scalable, and cost-efficient AWS DevOps architectures from day one.
✅ Automation-Focused: I streamline CI/CD, monitoring, and recovery using modern DevOps practices.
✅ Long-Term Reliability: Your infrastructure remains resilient post-launch thanks to proactive DevOps monitoring and alerts.
