Ahmed R.

I help SaaS teams build, stabilize, and scale Laravel applications, from database bottlenecks and failing queues to APIs, billing workflows, and complete Livewire product features. Laravel and PHP are what I do, eight years of it, most of that on the TALL stack (Tailwind, Alpine.js, Laravel, Livewire). My backend work typically includes: - Laravel application architecture and feature development - SaaS product development and ongoing maintenance - REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth, and third-party integrations - MySQL/PostgreSQL schema design and query optimization - Redis queues, background jobs, scheduled processes, and debugging - Stripe subscriptions, billing, webhooks, failed payments, and idempotency - Authentication, permissions, RBAC, and admin systems For the past three years, I've been the lead developer on a Laravel community SaaS platform that grew beyond 10,000 users. My other work includes healthcare patient workflows, LMS/edtech products, payment systems, API integrations, and long-running production applications. I also work with OpenAI and AI integrations where they make practical sense, including AI assistants, structured data extraction, tool-calling workflows, webhooks, and automation pipelines. When a product genuinely requires React, Vue, or another frontend stack, I'm comfortable working there too. Laravel remains my primary engineering stack. If you're maintaining an existing Laravel product or building a SaaS application that needs someone comfortable beyond the controller-and-Blade stage, that's exactly the kind of work I take on.
