Laravel & PHP Development
Laravel and PHP development for dependable backends.
Laravel is one of the most productive frameworks for building business applications. Its conventions for authentication, queues, scheduling and database access mean less boilerplate and more time spent on the rules that make your business unique.
I worked professionally as a PHP Laravel developer before going independent, and I still build Laravel backends for SaaS platforms, assessment tools and e-commerce brands, often paired with a React or Next.js frontend.

FAQ
Laravel & PHP Development: frequently asked questions.
Is Laravel still a good choice?
Yes. Laravel is actively developed, very well documented and has a mature ecosystem for authentication, payments, queues and admin tooling. It is an excellent choice for business applications and APIs.
Can you upgrade my old Laravel application?
Yes. I upgrade applications version by version, update dependencies, fix breaking changes and add tests around critical paths so the upgrade is safe.
Can Laravel work with a React frontend?
Absolutely. Laravel makes an excellent API backend for React and Next.js, or can serve React directly through Inertia.js.
