ABOUT ME
Senior Laravel developer with a passion for readable code.
Senior Laravel developer with a passion for readable code.
I am a senior Laravel developer with expertise in building and managing high-traffic Laravel and PHP applications as well as most things that go along with that, including relational databases and various front-end implementations.
For Businesses:
I can help you improve your legacy PHP codebase through the iterative implementation of modern PHP practices and standards.
If you identify with any of these sentiments, I can help!
- You feel like your development speed is slow and inefficient.
- It seems like you are shipping way more bugs than you ought to be.
- You aren't confident in the robustness of your system.
- Onboarding is very slow, and developers make a lot of mistakes due to the ad-hoc, quirky design of your system.
For Individuals:
I can help you become a job-ready PHP or Laravel developer by teaching you what companies value most.
- Discovering and helping you rid yourself of bad habits.
- Developing strong OOP fundamentals.
- Writing clean and readable code.
*My availability is limited to nights and weekends because I am currently employed full-time.
