Laravel Development
Web applications, APIs and dashboards. Robust, well-tested code that scales with the business behind it.
Rebuilds and rescues
Inherited or abandoned Laravel apps audited, upgraded and stabilised, with tests added as I go.
Ongoing support
Framework upgrades, security patches and new features for apps already in production.
Ongoing support
Updates, fixes and small features on retainer or ad hoc.
The approach
Built to last, tested to prove it
Business-critical applications deserve more than code that “works on my machine”. Every build ships with automated tests, sensible architecture and documentation, so the next developer can pick it up without archaeology.
I also take on inherited Laravel codebases: untangling, upgrading and stabilising apps other teams have left behind.

Common questions
Can you take over an existing Laravel application?
Yes. Rescues and takeovers are a regular part of my work. I'll audit the codebase first: what's solid, what's fragile, and what it'll take to stabilise. You get an honest written assessment before any commitment.
Do you write automated tests?
Always. Releases ship with test coverage via PHPUnit or Pest. It's how I can make changes to business-critical apps without holding my breath. Existing untested apps get tests added as I work.
Can you build and maintain APIs?
Yes. REST APIs for mobile apps and third parties, plus integrations with CRMs, payment providers and internal systems. Documented, versioned and monitored.
What about hosting and deployment?
I can set up and manage the full pipeline: Laravel Forge, AWS or DigitalOcean, zero-downtime deploys, backups, uptime and error monitoring. Or I'll fit into your existing infrastructure.
Can you work white-label under our agency?
Yes. A lot of my Laravel work is for agencies that need senior Laravel capacity they don't have in-house. I work under NDA, in your tooling, and your client never needs to know I'm external.
How do you charge?
Fixed price for scoped builds, day rate for open-ended or rescue work, and a monthly retainer for ongoing support. You'll know which before anything starts.
Got a Laravel project, or a codebase that needs rescuing?
New builds, inherited apps, agency overflow, or ongoing support.
