PHP Developer
PHP runs 77% of websites with a known server-side language — including WordPress, Laravel, and Symfony. I build modern PHP applications with Laravel for rapid development, Symfony for enterprise architecture, and custom PHP for specific needs. PHP 8.3 with types, fibers, and modern patterns — not the PHP of 2010.

PHP Projects Delivered
Technologies I use
What You Get
Laravel Application Development
Full Laravel applications with Eloquent ORM, Blade templates, job queues, event broadcasting, and Laravel ecosystem packages. From APIs to SaaS platforms — Laravel's batteries-included approach means faster delivery.
Symfony Enterprise Applications
Symfony for complex enterprise applications with Doctrine ORM, event-driven architecture, service containers, and Symfony bundles. The framework behind Drupal, PrestaShop, and enterprise PHP.
Laravel Livewire & Inertia.js
Interactive UIs without writing JavaScript — Livewire for server-driven reactivity, or Inertia.js for using React/Vue as the frontend layer while keeping Laravel's backend routing and controllers.
API Development
RESTful APIs with Laravel Sanctum for SPA authentication, Passport for OAuth2, or API tokens. JSON:API specification, rate limiting, versioning, and comprehensive API documentation.
Legacy PHP Modernization
Upgrade legacy PHP 5.x/7.x codebases to PHP 8.3. Introduce namespaces, type declarations, dependency injection, and modern patterns. Migrate from procedural to MVC framework architecture.
Testing & CI/CD
PHPUnit or Pest for unit and feature testing. Code coverage, mutation testing, and CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI for automated testing and deployment.
How I Work
Requirements & Framework Choice
Choose between Laravel (rapid development), Symfony (enterprise), or plain PHP for specific needs. Plan database schema, API design, and third-party integrations.
Application Development
Build models, controllers, services, and business logic. Implement authentication, authorization, and data validation following framework best practices.
Frontend & Integration
Build frontend with Blade/Twig, Livewire, or Inertia.js. Integrate with payment processors, email services, and external APIs.
Testing & Optimization
Test suite with PHPUnit/Pest, database query optimization, caching with Redis, and performance profiling with Laravel Telescope.

Deploy with Laravel Forge, Laravel Vapor (serverless), or Docker. Zero-downtime deployments, database migrations, and monitoring setup.
