Emmanuel L.
Laravel & React Developer | SaaS, APIs & Data Migrations
I develop and take over Laravel applications with payments, external integrations, and complex business rules. My work includes CloudBlast’s VPS platform, invoicing and legacy data migration for an auction-house system, and Scrimora, my own Laravel and React SaaS. I’m useful when you have an existing application that needs further development: unfinished features, unfamiliar code, an outdated CMS, or data that must move from an older system. I work across the backend, frontend, database, and deployment. What I can help with • Extend and maintain Laravel applications, customer portals, and admin systems. • Build SaaS features such as team roles, invitations, subscriptions, and billing. • Integrate payment providers, external APIs, and hosting infrastructure. • Plan database changes and build migrations with logging and validation. • Upgrade existing PHP/CMS applications and resolve compatibility issues. • Build React, Next.js, and Vue interfaces with TypeScript. Relevant projects CloudBlast:I took over an unfinished VPS product as the sole developer during my project phase. I developed customer and admin workflows for provisioning, payments, and support, connecting Laravel and React with Proxmox, CloudInit, Stripe, and crypto payments. I also designed and built the public Next.js website. Auction-house management system: My work included invoices, cancellations, reminders, and ZUGFeRD/Factur-X documents. I built a staged migration from FoxPro/DBF data using queued jobs, logging, and manual review within a Laravel and Twill application. Scrimora: I’m the founder and sole developer of this SaaS for esports teams. I designed the product and built team management, roles, invitations, scheduling, statistics, Stripe billing, and Discord and Riot integrations using Laravel, React, Inertia, and TypeScript. CMS modernization: I upgraded an existing OctoberCMS system from v2 to v3 and then v4. My work also covered maintenance, an internal knowledge base, LLM-based PDF extraction, and an Azure OpenAI chatbot integration. CCS Cloud: I independently developed a multi-tenant application for test centres, covering patients, appointments, tests, results, QR codes, and reporting. A small group of centres tested the system; it did not reach a full rollout. My main stack is PHP/Laravel, React, and TypeScript. I also work with Next.js, Vue, Symfony, OctoberCMS, Statamic, and WordPress, plus MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and Linux. Based in Stuttgart, Germany. Self-employed through IT-Lampe since February 2020. Native German, fluent English.
