🔧 Senior Full-Stack Developer | 10+ Years Building Production-Grade Laravel & Vue.js Applications New to Upwork, but not new to the work. I've spent the past decade building and scaling web applications for agencies and startups across Germany. You need a developer who architects solutions that drive revenue, scale with your business, and are built to last. That's what I do. I specialize in Laravel and Vue.js full-stack development, covering the entire lifecycle: database architecture, REST API design, and polished frontends with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. ⚙️ Laravel & PHP Backend ✅ Application architecture: REST APIs, queues, jobs, events, scheduling ✅ MySQL database design, optimization, and migrations ✅ Third-party API integrations and payment systems ✅ Authentication, authorization, and multi-tenancy 🖥️ Vue.js & Nuxt.js Frontend ✅ Single-page and server-rendered applications ✅ TypeScript and Tailwind CSS for responsive, clean UI ✅ Component-driven architecture and state management 🛠️ AI Code Rescue & Modernization AI tools generate code fast, but rarely code that scales. I audit, refactor, and stabilize AI-generated codebases, turning fragile prototypes into production-ready applications with proper structure and testing. If your AI-built project is breaking under real traffic or becoming impossible to maintain, I can fix it. 📌 What Working With Me Looks Like Clear updates, honest timelines, and no disappearing acts. I've been told I have that "German precision" thing going on, and I'll take it. Your deadlines matter to me. Based in Germany (CET), available 30+ hours per week. Fluent in English, native German. I respond fast and keep meetings productive. Docker, CI/CD, and deployment are part of my workflow, not an afterthought. Whether you need a Laravel SaaS built from scratch, a broken codebase rescued, or a Vue.js frontend that actually performs: send me your project details and I'll get back to you within 24 hours.
