What I offer

Laravel development for new products and existing systems

Laravel web applications and APIs

Business applications, customer portals, booking tools and SaaS backends. I work on database models, authentication, validation, REST APIs, queues and the application logic behind your workflows.

Filament admin panels and custom plugins

Resources, tables, forms, dashboards and custom actions for your back office. I build integrations that fit the Filament panel and can extend or adapt plugins to your actual requirements.

PHP project takeover and maintenance

Continue development after a handover, resolve difficult bugs or improve a growing Laravel application. I review the relevant architecture and dependencies before planning targeted changes and checks.

AI features and external integrations

Connect a Laravel application to external services, webhooks or a knowledge-grounded chatbot. I can work on ingestion, queues, API connectors, streaming responses and the operational interfaces needed to manage the integration.

Technology

The right stack for your application.

Laravel and Filament are part of a broader full-stack toolkit. I also connect PHP backends to React, Next.js, Vue or Nuxt frontends when that fits your application.

Questions about hiring me

Do you only build new Laravel applications?

No. I also take over existing PHP and Laravel projects, extend features, investigate bugs and help with ongoing maintenance. A focused initial review helps us agree on scope and a practical next step.

Can you customize Filament or integrate an AI chatbot?

Yes. I develop Filament interfaces and plugins and can help adapt them to your application. For AI projects, we clarify knowledge sources, access controls, external services and how to test the resulting answers and workflows.
