Applications, APIs, integrations & takeovers
Laravel Developer, Chester & Liverpool
My Laravel work is for companies in Cheshire, Liverpool and North Wales that run on software of their own, whether it's a product they sell or a tool their staff use every day.
A Laravel developer for the application you already have
If the developer who built it has moved on, I audit the code before changing anything, fix what's urgent and steady the deployments. New features come after that.
Laravel development services
-
REST APIs
Token authentication, rate limiting and versioning, for the frontend teams and third parties who build against them.
-
Admin dashboards
Internal tools that replace spreadsheets and manual processes, with roles, reporting, workflows and audit trails where they're needed.
-
Integrations
Stripe, Xero, CRMs, fulfilment and data pipelines, with logging, retries and failure handling, so a failed sync is visible and can be fixed.
-
Legacy PHP to Laravel
Older PHP applications moved to Laravel a piece at a time, so the business keeps running while the code changes underneath it.
-
Performance
Slow pages traced to their queries, then fixed with caching and queues where they help, and monitoring that catches the next slowdown early.
-
Tests and documentation
Tests on the critical paths, a README, example environment files and API documentation, so your own developers can work on the application too.
A Laravel trading platform for a cryptocurrency exchange
- Real time, done with the framework. Laravel Echo and Redis broadcasting send prices and order changes over WebSockets as they happen, so every user sees the same order book wherever they are.
- A matching engine that cannot half-complete a trade. Orders go through a queue-based matching engine whose database transactions roll back cleanly if a step fails, and every trade is recorded in one ledger for reporting.
- Admin and compliance from day one. Permission-based access, KYC queues, real-time dashboards and audit logs. Every privileged action is logged and exportable. The platform passed its initial compliance review.
- A release process you can repeat. Each release restarts the queue workers and runs migrations the code already live can still use, so the platform kept changing after the first demo and the technical audit that won its institutional investment.
Laravel projects across Cheshire and North Wales
We can talk the project through in Chester city centre, or on a call if that suits you better.
A new application starts from what the business needs it to do. I scope it from that, then build it a stage at a time, and you see each stage before the next one begins.
Have a Laravel application that needs a developer?
Frequently asked questions
Updated
Will anyone else work on my application?
No. I'm the only developer, so the codebase follows one set of conventions and you never have to brief someone new.
Where are your Laravel clients based?
In Chester and across Cheshire, in Liverpool, on the Wirral, and over the border in North Wales.
