Laravel Developer | PHP, Full-Stack Developer, Vue.js, API Integration

🎯 I architect, build & modernize Laravel/PHP web apps, SaaS platforms & API-driven systems. 💻 15+ years in full-stack development and software architecture, using AI-assisted automation to deliver scalable, maintainable, production-ready solutions. I'm an expert Full-Stack Developer specializing in Laravel, PHP, Vue.js, API Integration, and Software Architecture. My experience includes building travel booking platforms and event ticketing systems from scratch, integrating complex third-party APIs, and maintaining high-traffic applications over many years. I approach development as an engineer and architect: understanding business requirements, designing the right technical foundation, and delivering solutions that remain reliable as products evolve. 🎯 WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU ✅ Laravel & PHP Development — Custom back-end systems, business logic, authentication, RESTful APIs, and application architecture. ✅ Full-Stack Web Development — Modern, responsive applications using Vue.js, Nuxt.js, React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. ✅ API Development & Integration — Third-party APIs, travel and event data providers, payment gateways, and external business services. ✅ SaaS & Web Applications — Booking engines, ticketing platforms, CRM systems, dashboards, admin panels, and business automation. ✅ Software Architecture & Modernization — Modular monoliths, API-first systems, legacy PHP/Yii2 migrations, Laravel upgrades, and code refactoring. ✅ Database & Cloud Engineering — MySQL, PostgreSQL, performance optimization, Docker, cloud deployment, and CI/CD. ✅ AI Integration — LLM APIs, intelligent assistants, AI-powered application features, and workflow automation. ✅ WordPress Development — Custom PHP functionality, CMS integrations, maintenance, and modernization. 🤖 AI-ASSISTED ENGINEERING & AUTOMATION I use OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, and JetBrains PhpStorm to accelerate development through AI coding agents and automated engineering workflows. My approach combines human-led software architecture with AI-assisted implementation: 🔹 Architecture First — Define application structure, module boundaries, database schemas, API contracts, and technical requirements. 🔹 Agentic Development — Use AI coding agents for feature implementation, codebase analysis, debugging, refactoring, and documentation. 🔹 Workflow Automation — Automate repetitive coding tasks, boilerplate generation, testing, and routine maintenance using structured instructions and MCP integrations. 🔹 Engineering Quality — Review AI-generated code, validate architectural consistency, and verify functionality through testing and code review. AI handles repetitive work. I focus on architecture, complex business logic, critical decisions, and production quality. 🛠 TECHNOLOGY STACK Backend: PHP, Laravel, Yii2, Node.js, Filament, Livewire, RESTful API.
