Senior Full-Stack PHP Engineer, 16+ years shipping production Laravel and Next.js applications. Zend Certified PHP Developer | 100% Job Success Score Worked with founders, product teams, and CTOs whose applications need to scale, integrate AI, or become more secure — usually all three. I've built OpenAI moderation pipelines, Stripe Connect account engines, multi-factor auth epics, real-time WebSockets release and deployment pipelines across dev/production systems. What clients say (more in my reviews below): "Sheraz did an amazing job solving a problem 4 other developers were not able to solve for a month. And honestly, my best experience on Upwork." MY DELIVERABLES FOR CLIENTS: Lead architecture on multi-year Laravel + Next.js builds with distributed teams Modernize aging Laravel codebases (5/6/7 → 10/11) without breaking production Integrate AI into existing applications — OpenAI content moderation, document processing, validation pipelines, token cost optimization — with proper failure handling for when the AI is down Own Stripe Connect, subscription billing, and payment infrastructure end-to-end Build the security layers most projects underestimate — MFA, RBAC, IDOR fixes, rate limiting, signed URLs Ship the real-time layers — WebSockets, live announcements, broadcast events (Reverb, Echo, Pusher) Deploy and maintain applications on AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront) with the operational discipline production systems need Manage releases: PR reviews, semantic versioning, deployment automation, zero-warning builds HOW I WORK: I start every engagement with a thorough audit of the project — one hour for small tasks, up to five working days for larger applications — then come back with any clarifying questions before I quote. That way the quote reflects the real work, not an optimistic guess. If a project is underspecified, I'll flag it before we start rather than after we're stuck. I take a small number of clients at a time because I do my best work when I can go deep. The engagements I'm most proud of are the ones that turned into multi-year relationships — that's what I'm working toward with every new client too. RECENT WORK: Social-impact commerce & fundraising platform (confidential — ongoing since 2024). Built the campaign system end-to-end — creation, AI moderation, publishing, expiry — across API, customer app and admin console. Designed Stripe Connect onboarding with a six-state account-status engine covering KYC, restrictions and payouts. Shipped role-based MFA full-stack (~4,900 lines). Introduced WebSockets to power live fundraising totals and public donation announcements. Added French localization across the backend and 40+ frontend routes without breaking existing URLs. Closed an authorization flaw that had exposed every role-restricted route, and eliminated inventory overselling under concurrent checkout. Owned releases across four repositories for 20 months. PDF Data Extractor & Automated Certificate Generator SaaS — Laravel + AWS, in progress. Multi-tenant Laravel application build. Full audit and refactor of an existing Laravel codebase. Designed and implemented a multi-tenant architecture with strict data isolation, tenant-level access control, and shared-resource strategies. Optimized database schema, queries, and caching for multi-tenant load. Built reusable modular components extensible per tenant. Established coding standards and CI/CD workflows with the team. Cloudflare R2 integration for a Laravel + Livewire generative-AI application Implemented R2 CDN with dedicated domain configuration, delivered after four other developers had been unable to solve the problem (5-star review). Test/Assessment Management System (New Meridian Corp, Austin TX) Led architecture for 2+ years with a 10-engineer team, built self-hosted PHP package management on AWS, transformed VCS workflow to semantic-version sprint releases.
