PHP Laravel Developer | Web Developer | Shopware | Prestashop | Stripe

Hey, glad you found my profile. I'm a PHP Laravel Developer who actually enjoys other people's legacy code. Symfony, Shopware, Prestashop, Stripe, if it's messy and needs fixing, I'm your guy. 11+ years, zero AI-generated proposals. I've spent most of my career as a PHP Laravel Developer doing full-cycle work: database architecture, backend logic, API integrations, deployment, the whole thing. Clients usually bring me in as a Web Developer when a project needs both backend and frontend hands, or as a Full Stack Developer when the scope is bigger than that. Some of what I've built as a Full Stack Developer: B2B marketplaces, ERP systems for manufacturing and retail, and a CRM for an electric and gas utility company. One project I'm particularly proud of was a property management platform with tenant monitoring, access control, and reservations, where I worked as the Web Developer handling both the server side and the client interface. That one's a solid example of what Full Stack Developer work actually looks like end to end. Symfony is where most of my PHP Laravel Developer work lives these days. As a Symfony Developer, I lean on its dependency injection container, event dispatcher, and Doctrine ORM to build systems that stay maintainable years later, and I get pulled into legacy Symfony codebases a lot, cleaning them up without breaking production. When a project calls for Laravel instead, I switch gears as a PHP Laravel Developer and move faster with its ecosystem. On the CMS side, I work as a Shopware Developer building stores, plugins, and product catalogs, and as a Prestashop Developer handling everything from initial setup to custom modules. I've also done my share of work as a WordPress Developer, building and customizing sites and wiring them up to backend systems and third party APIs. Shopware, Prestashop, WordPress... whatever the platform, my goal's the same: clean code the store owner can actually maintain after I'm gone. I also work as a Python Developer here and there, mostly scripts and data processing jobs that plug into a bigger PHP setup rather than standing on their own. Alongside that I integrate payment and messaging tools like Stripe, PayPal, Twilio, and Sendgrid, and reach for Docker, RabbitMQ, and Elasticsearch when something needs to scale. So if you need a PHP Laravel Developer who can also cover Web Developer, Symfony Developer, Shopware Developer, Prestashop Developer, WordPress Developer, or Python Developer ground depending on what the job actually needs, that's me. Happy to own a project start to finish or just slot into a team that's already moving.
