Available 40 hrs/week | Focused on stable, scalable, production-grade Laravel systems I’m a senior full-stack Laravel engineer specializing in SaaS platforms, fintech systems, and high-traffic web applications. Over the past several years I’ve built, maintained, and scaled real production systems handling **payments, wallets, APIs, dashboards, and multi-tenant platforms**. My work isn’t about demos - it’s about systems that run money, users, and businesses. I have strong experience working with existing codebases, stabilizing SaaS platforms, improving performance, fixing production bugs, and shipping new features without breaking live systems. I’ve worked in fintech (Chapa, Quikin), logistics, and internal enterprise platforms, where uptime, security, and data integrity matter. Technical Stack I work daily with: Backend * Laravel (REST APIs, Jobs, Queues, Events, Policies, Multi-Tenancy) * PHP (Clean architecture, Service layers, DTOs) * MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis * Payment systems (Chapa, Paystack, PayPal, MPGS, wallets, escrow, webhooks) Frontend * Vue.js, React.js * Livewire, Filament, Nova * Tailwind, Bootstrap Infrastructure * LEMP / LAMP * Docker, CI/CD * Queues, Caching, Background workers * AWS, GCP, VPS, cPanel Testing & Quality * PHPUnit, Pest * Feature, integration & API tests * Production debugging & log-driven fixes What I Actually Do (That Clients Pay For) I help companies who already have: * a running SaaS * a Laravel backend * a payment system * or a growing user base and need someone who can: * fix production bugs * stabilize and optimize code * improve performance * add features safely * clean up technical debt * handle API integrations * and keep the system alive under real traffic I’m comfortable stepping into messy, undocumented systems and turning them into something reliable. Architecture & API Work I regularly design and maintain: * RESTful APIs * Third-party integrations * Webhooks & payment callbacks * Token-based auth * Role & permission systems * SaaS billing & subscriptions * Wallets & transaction ledgers I use OOP, SOLID, service layers, and clean boundaries - not academic purity, but what actually keeps systems stable in production. Testing & Code Review I also provide: * code reviews * architecture audits * performance analysis * test coverage improvements * API reliability fixes I write unit, feature, and integration tests so teams can ship faster with less risk. Why Clients Keep Me Because I don’t just “write Laravel”. I own systems. I think about: * what breaks under load * how money can be lost * how data can be corrupted * how deployments fail * how users behave in the real world That mindset is what separates senior engineers from people who just code features. Core Skills * Laravel & PHP * SaaS platforms * Payment systems & fintech * REST APIs & Webhooks * Vue.js & React * Redis & Queues * MySQL & PostgreSQL * Livewire, Filament, Nova * Testing (PHPUnit, Pest) * LEMP / LAMP stacks * Performance & optimization * Code review & debugging * Clean, maintainable architecture Let’s Work If you need someone who can: * step into your Laravel system * understand it quickly * fix what’s broken * and make it scale then we should talk.
