Senior PHP & Laravel Developer | Backend APIs & Custom WordPress

Senior PHP & Laravel Developer, 6+ years, 450+ projects delivered across SaaS platforms, e-commerce stores, and custom WordPress builds. I maintain open-source Laravel packages other developers run in production, code's public on GitHub under /malikad778, review it before you hire me. What I work on: PHP | Laravel SaaS backends, multi-tenant architecture, Stripe/PayPal billing, job queues, real-time features (Reverb, Pusher) REST & headless APIs, versioning, Sanctum/Passport/JWT auth, third-party integrations built to survive vendor changes WordPress, custom plugins, hook architecture, WooCommerce extensions, REST bridges between WP and Laravel Legacy & performance, inherited Laravel codebases, test coverage, N+1 fixes, modernization without downtime E-commerce, order pipelines, multi-channel inventory sync (Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, Etsy), payment gateway integrations Cloud infrastructure, AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, CloudWatch, IAM) and Google Cloud (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Vertex AI, Gemini API) ... I run production workloads on both, not tutorials. Certified, hands-on, know where each platform breaks under load. Shipped publicly. A multi-channel notification engine for Laravel 12 (parallel dispatch, smart routing), a static analysis tool that catches dangerous migrations before they hit production, and a passive API contract monitor that flags breaking third-party API changes before they break your app. Stack: PHP 8.x, Laravel, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, Nginx, REST/GraphQL APIs, WooCommerce. Best fit. Founders and technical leads who need someone to own the backend without hand-holding. Give me a spec, I'll ask the right questions. Give me a problem, I'll figure out the architecture. Open to fixed-price and long-term contracts. Usually respond within 10 minutes.
