I am a senior full-stack engineer and backend architect specializing in building, scaling, and modernizing high-performance PHP web applications. Whether you need a heavy-hitting Laravel engineer to build core features, or an expert to salvage a messy legacy codebase that has become slow and fragile, I jump directly into the code and get it done right—without breaking your live production environment. What I bring to your project: • Expert Laravel & PHP Development: Clean, modern code architecture using Laravel, Symfony, Inertia.js, and React. • Powerful Admin Workflows: Rapid and beautiful administrative dashboards built with Filament. • System Stabilization & Audits: Pinpointing performance bottlenecks, fixing fragile codebases, and refactoring safely. • Database & API Optimization: Tuning complex MySQL structures and building secure, lightning-fast REST APIs. How we can work together: 1. Technical Audit & Planning: I can review your current setup, pinpoint risks, and provide an immediate roadmap. 2. Direct Execution: I dive straight into the codebase to clear out bugs, optimize performance, or safely launch critical features. 3. Continuous Reliability: Ensuring your application remains fast, stable, and easy to maintain as your business scales. If you have a Laravel or PHP application that needs high-level technical execution, let's connect.

Most founders who reach out to me don't have a WordPress problem. They have a product that's growing faster than the system holding it together — and no one technical enough to own what comes next. That is what I do. My longest engagement started with a single bug report. Within weeks I was running technical direction for Crewfare — a US-based group travel booking platform backed by a Forbes 30 Under 30 co-founder. Over three years I architected their multi-tenant SaaS platform from zero to production, built a custom billing engine on Stripe and Authorize.Net with deposit logic and variable installment schedules that native Stripe subscriptions cannot handle, built booking and operations modules that reduced manual setup time by 70%, and led the engineering team through the full product lifecycle. The co-founder's words: "The kind of developer you can hand a hard problem to and trust that it'll come back solved — not worked around." That is the kind of engagement I am built for. What I bring: 10+ years building PHP and Laravel systems at the architecture level. Not themes, not page builders — the actual systems underneath. I have built multi-tenant SaaS platforms, led the migration of a 500K+ monthly user platform from monolithic PHP to modular architecture without downtime, and maintained sub-2s load times under real production load through query optimization, caching strategy, and server-level tuning. I use Claude Code and Cursor in my daily workflow. I built temsilcipro — a full production RAG system on Claude API, including the ingestion pipeline, embedding logic, retrieval system, and chat interface. I know how AI-generated code breaks in production because I have debugged my own. If you built your product with AI tools and need a senior developer to take ownership and harden it properly, I have been on both sides of that transition. How I work: Before I write a line of code, I understand the system — server, database, codebase, integrations. I diagnose before I build. Root causes, not patches. If you bring me in to fix one thing and I find three others that will cause problems later, I will tell you. References from Jason van Esso (Founder & CEO, Crewfare) and Jordan Scheffler (Forbes 30 Under 30 co-founder, Crewfare) available on request. 100% Job Success Score. Top Rated on Upwork. If you need someone to take technical ownership of your product — not just close tickets — tell me what you are building.
