Laravel & WordPress PHP Developer | Custom Web Apps & REST APIs
Laravel & WordPress PHP developer who builds things that keep working after launch. Top Rated, 100% Job Success. If one of these sounds familiar, we should talk: → Your web app works in the demo but breaks with real users → Your WordPress site is slow, insecure, or breaks every time you change something → A previous developer left your project unfinished, undocumented, or both That's the work I enjoy: understanding the code that's already there, fixing the root cause instead of the symptoms, and shipping something your team can actually run. With Laravel, I build: → Custom web applications and admin dashboards with roles, permissions and notifications → REST APIs and third-party API integrations → Livewire interfaces, MySQL database design, Docker deployments on AWS With WordPress, I handle: → Custom themes, plugins and functionality → Performance optimization and security fixes → Clean-up of sites that have grown messy over the years Proof, not promises: → School Management System built with Laravel, Livewire and a REST API. Live demo available, just ask. → A multilingual community platform supporting 123+ languages, with custom admin panel, user roles, events and a notification engine. What working with me looks like: ✔ You always know where your project stands, without chasing me ✔ Problems flagged early, with options, not excuses ✔ Clean, documented code the next developer can pick up ✔ Tested before delivery (Playwright, CI/CD), built for production, not just for approval I work in English, French and Swahili, from East Africa (UTC+3), with good overlap with Europe and the Middle East. Send me your project, or the problem you're stuck on, and I'll reply with the questions that matter and a realistic plan.
