8 years in, the work I get called into tends to be the same: a product that outgrew its architecture, a payment system with edge cases nobody anticipated, or a codebase that became untouchable. Sometimes it runs the other direction, a validated idea that needs to be built properly from the start. My core stack is Laravel and Next.js, deployed on Kubernetes with automated CI/CD. I've spent most of my time in multi-tenant SaaS: subscription management, tenant provisioning, isolated databases, payment infrastructure, and the scaling problems that only show up under real usage. Projects I can speak to directly: GradeUp (my own SaaS): tutors sign up and get a fully provisioned environment in under 10 minutes: branded subdomain, isolated database, custom configuration. no manual steps. I built the complete stack: stateless Laravel API, Next.js tenant site and admin panel, GitHub Actions automation, K3s cluster, Grafana monitoring. Hunter (healthcare platform, Turkey): two years extending a production K3s-hosted platform. Built a video content pipeline with FFmpeg transcoding, multiple format outputs, and protection blocking direct MP4 access. Added a standalone smoking cessation product with AI model integration. Built a real-time fasting community feature (progress photos, status updates, WebSockets + Laravel Echo). Also tuned the cluster to absorb campaign-driven traffic spikes without degradation. Lazo (marketplace, France): joined a product mid-development. Started with a full codebase audit: removed dead packages, resolved dependency conflicts, cut build times. Restored broken Customerio and PubNub integrations. Rebuilt the payment layer to handle B2B service-provider payouts, subscription tiers, and localized international pricing. More than 1.5 year as the primary backend developer. What I take on: - Multi-tenant SaaS platforms: Laravel API + Next.js + K8s deploy - Stripe payment systems: Connect, subscriptions, marketplace payouts, KYC flows - Real-time features: WebSockets, Laravel Echo, live dashboards - Video pipelines: transcoding, format handling, content protection - CI/CD infrastructure: GitHub Actions, Docker, K3s - Codebase audits and stabilization - API-first backends with TDD and full documentation Stack: - Backend: Laravel · PHP · Golang . Node.js · Redis · MySQL · PostgreSQL - Frontend: Next.js · React · Nuxt . Vue . TypeScript · Tailwind CSS - DevOps: Docker · Kubernetes/K3s · GitHub Actions · Hetzner · AWS - Testing: Cypress · Vitest · Jest · Integration Testing - APIs: Stripe · OpenAI · WebSockets · FFmpeg

Your website should do more than simply look good. It should build trust, explain your value clearly, and turn visitors into qualified leads or paying customers.
