Laravel Backend Expert | Legacy PHP Rescue & PHP/Wordpress Migration

Need a senior developer who can build, fix, or rescue your PHP/Laravel application — and get it done right the first time? I'm a full-stack developer with 10+ years of experience helping startups and established businesses ship secure, scalable, high-performing web applications. Clients keep coming back because I deliver clean, maintainable code, communicate clearly, and hit deadlines — my Upwork history is full of repeat contracts for exactly this reason. WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH ▶ Build and scale Laravel applications with complex business logic ▶ Rescue and modernize legacy PHP apps (PHP 5/7 → PHP 8, Laravel version upgrades) ▶ Design and build RESTful APIs and database-driven systems ▶ Write complex, optimized MySQL queries and reports ▶ Integrate third-party services: Stripe, QuickBooks, OpenAI, social logins, and more ▶ Develop custom WordPress plugins and integrations WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME ▶ 100% Job Success Score with long-term, repeat clients ▶ 58+ projects completed and thousands of hours delivered on Upwork ▶ Trusted to untangle messy, inherited codebases and make them stable and fast ▶ Reliable communication — most clients hear back from me within a few hours TECH STACK ▶ Back-end: PHP 8 (also 7.x and legacy 5.x), Laravel 4.2 through 11; ▶ Databases: MySQL, Oracle, Redis; ▶ Front-end: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, jQuery, TailwindCSS, Laravel Livewire; ▶ RESTful API design and integration; ▶ Custom WordPress plugin development; ▶ Strong OOP and design patterns; ▶ Unit testing and feature testing; ▶ Integrations: Stripe, QuickBooks, ChatGPT/OpenAI, social login, Twitter API; HOW I WORK You get a senior developer leading every project. I use modern tooling and AI-assisted workflows to move faster, but every line I ship is reviewed, tested, and built to production standards — never dumped in raw. You get speed and quality. LET’S TALK Whether it's a one-hour fix or a months-long build, send me a message with what you're working on and I'll tell you honestly how I can help.
