Working with Laravel since 2015 and it has become my favorite and most productive PHP framework.

Modern PHP development utilizing best practices and frameworks such as Laravel 11 and composer. Strong preference for PHP 8+, can migrate PHP 5.6 to currrent 8.0+. Early PHP user since version 3 in 1999, progressing to the latest versions as they became available.

I also do live codebase assessments if you are in the due diligence phase of purchasing a SaaS business, where we would screen share with the seller of the business.

Help with troubleshooting a deployment on the server including linux, nginx, apache, mysql, mariadb, php, redis, memcache, etc.

Deploying web apps to Ubuntu. I also use Ubuntu as a daily driver developer workstation.

Preference for Nginx/PHP-fpm for serving Laravel, and Caddy to automate SSL certificates and provide user custom domain SSL, should each of your application users need their own custom domain.
