Specialized backend development services using Laravel, PHP, and modern architecture patterns. I build scalable, secure server-side solutions with clean, maintainable code that follows industry best practices. My expertise includes RESTful API design and implementation, complex database architecture and optimization, payment gateway integrations, authentication and authorization systems, and real-time features using Laravel Echo and WebSockets. I'm experienced in upgrading and modernizing legacy Laravel projects—whether that's updating from older Laravel versions (6, 7, 8) to the latest stable releases or refactoring outdated code for better performance. I handle package management, dependency updates, and comprehensive testing to ensure zero downtime during migrations. I also specialize in WordPress customization with PHP, WooCommerce integrations, and plugin development. All projects are version-controlled with Git, include proper error handling, logging, and monitoring. I deploy applications using Laravel Forge and DigitalOcean for optimal performance and reliability. Whether you need a new API, backend optimization, legacy system modernization, or custom business logic implementation, I deliver production-ready solutions.
