What a Laravel freelance mission covers

Custom application development

From domain modeling to production deployment: Laravel models, Eloquent relationships, jobs, events, policies. Clean, tested, maintainable code. 

php artisan make:model Invoice --migration --factory
php artisan make:job ProcessInvoicePayment
php artisan make:policy InvoicePolicy --model=Invoice

REST APIs & integrations

Versioned APIs with Eloquent API Resources, Sanctum authentication, rate limiting, and third-party integrations (Stripe, Pennylane, HubSpot, etc.). 

class InvoiceResource extends JsonResource
{
    public function toArray(Request $request): array
    {
        return [
            'id'     => $this->id,
            'amount' => $this->amount,
            'client' => new ClientResource(
                $this->whenLoaded('client')
            ),
        ];
    }
}

Architecture & code quality

Hexagonal architecture, DDD, CQRS, automated testing with Pest. I set up CI/CD pipelines, code review processes and technical standards for your team. 

it('creates an invoice and dispatches job', function () {
    Mail::fake();
    Queue::fake();

    $response = $this->postJson('/api/invoices', [
        'amount' => 1500,
        'client_id' => Client::factory()->create()->id,
    ]);

    $response->assertCreated();
    Queue::assertPushed(ProcessInvoicePayment::class);
});

Frequently asked questions

What types of Laravel projects do you work on?

I work on a wide range of Laravel projects: custom B2B SaaS applications, REST APIs and backend services, ERP/CRM integrations, performance refactoring, Laravel upgrades, and greenfield projects. I'm comfortable on both short-term (2–4 weeks) and long-term (6+ months) missions.

How do you handle code quality and testing?

I write tests as I go — unit, feature, and integration tests with Pest and PHPUnit. I use PHPStan / Larastan for static analysis, Laravel Pint for code style, and I'm happy to set up or improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines). I aim for a high level of confidence in every release.

Are you available for remote missions?

Yes — I work fully remote by default. I'm based in Nice, France (CET timezone) and am available for missions across Europe and North America. Occasional on-site visits can be arranged for clients in the French Riviera, Monaco, or Paris.

What is your daily or hourly rate?

My rates depend on the scope, duration, and nature of the mission. I work on both time-and-materials and fixed-price engagements. The best way to get a quote is to schedule a free 30-minute call where I'll assess your needs and propose the most suitable format.
