Emmanuel L.

Senior PHP & Full-Stack Developer | Laravel, React, Next.js

I build and take over PHP applications that already have real users, business rules, payments, and years of accumulated code. Laravel is my main backend stack; I also work with Symfony, WordPress, TYPO3, Statamic, OctoberCMS and Shopware, plus React, Next.js, TypeScript and Vue on the frontend. Most of my work goes beyond a simple website: SaaS products, customer portals, admin systems, subscriptions, payments, data migrations, third-party APIs and Linux-based deployments. Selected work: • Scrimora.app: founder and solo developer of a Laravel 13, React 19, Inertia and TypeScript SaaS for esports teams. It includes team roles, invitations, planning, billing, Discord integration and Riot data. • CloudBlast: development of a VPS platform connecting Laravel and React with Proxmox, CloudInit, Stripe and crypto payments, plus a public Next.js marketing site. • The Silent Luxury: development and visual design for a premium editorial platform with subscriptions, custom layouts, WordPress and Statamic. • CCS Cloud: solo development of a multi-tenant platform for appointments, patients, test workflows, QR codes and reporting. I am particularly useful when an existing application needs someone who can trace unfamiliar code, understand the business rules, plan database changes, build migrations, integrate external systems and test the result before release. I taught myself software development and have been doing paid work since 2020. Several systems I now work with confidently, including OctoberCMS, Statamic and TYPO3, first appeared in client projects rather than tutorials. I learn a codebase by reading how it behaves, following its conventions and taking responsibility for what ships. Based in Stuttgart, Germany. Native German, fluent English. Available for ongoing development as well as clearly scoped projects.
