About Me

While I specialize in Laravel, I’m also comfortable working with raw PHP — especially when maintaining legacy codebases or building lightweight custom solutions.

For new projects, my default stack is the TALL stack (Tailwind, Alpine.js, Laravel, and Livewire), which allows for rapid development of dynamic, responsive apps without the complexity of a full frontend framework. That said, I’m also happy to work with Vue.js or other tools depending on the needs of your project.

With years of experience specializing in business logic, API development, PDF & Excel exports, and legacy app optimization, I take pride in writing clean, maintainable code that scales as your business grows.

I'm based in the UK and work 100% remotely with clients across Europe, North America, and beyond. Whether you're a solo founder or part of a distributed team, I'm comfortable collaborating asynchronously or in real time — whatever suits your workflow best.

I value clear communication, timely delivery, and collaborating closely with clients to turn their ideas into reality. Let’s build something great together!

How I Work

  1. Discovery & Planning: I start by understanding your business needs and project goals to tailor the best solution.
  2. Clear Communication: I keep you updated regularly, ensuring we’re aligned every step of the way.
  3. Agile Development: I build your project iteratively, welcoming feedback to make sure it meets your expectations.
  4. Quality Assurance: I rigorously test and optimize to deliver a smooth, bug-free experience.
  5. Ongoing Support: After launch, I’m here to help with maintenance, updates, and improvements as your business evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of projects do you take on?

I specialize in custom Laravel applications, automation tools, API development, and refactoring or maintaining legacy codebases. While Laravel is my primary framework, I also work with raw PHP and other technologies depending on the project's needs. I'm happy to take on both new builds and improvements to existing systems — whether you're starting from scratch or evolving an older codebase.

Do you work with agencies or just direct clients?

Both! I collaborate with agencies as a backend specialist and also work directly with businesses and entrepreneurs.

What’s your typical project workflow?

After a discovery call or brief, I define clear deliverables and timelines. I break the project into manageable phases, with regular progress updates along the way. I use Git for version control, write clear commit messages, and track tasks to keep everything organized and transparent.

How do we get started?
