Title: Fivestar Galway Taxis – Ride-Hailing & Fleet Management Platform
Short description (one-liner):
A full-featured Laravel 12 backend and admin platform powering ride-hailing, parcel delivery, payments, and real-time dispatch for a taxi business in Galway.
Project description:
Fivestar Galway Taxis needed a single platform to run their entire ride-hailing and fleet operation, from booking a ride to paying the driver. I delivered the PHP backend and web administration system that powers their customer and driver mobile apps, admin team, and public website.
The platform handles the complete trip lifecycle: ride requests, driver availability and dispatch, live trip updates, fare calculation, and post-trip reviews. Beyond rides, it supports parcel delivery with public tracking, customer and driver wallets, referrals, loyalty points, and promotions such as coupons, discounts, and zone-specific campaigns.
Real-time communication is central to the experience. Trip events and in-app chat between customers and drivers run over Laravel Reverb and Pusher, with push notifications delivered through Firebase Cloud Messaging.
For payments, the system integrates multiple gateways, including Stripe, Razorpay, Mercado Pago, iyzico, and Xendit, along with transaction records, exports, and wallet funding. The admin panel lets the business manage vehicles, zones, fares, drivers, customers, SMS and mail settings, localization, maintenance mode, and AI-powered features via OpenAI integration.
The codebase is built with a modular architecture of 16 independent domain modules (trips, fares, zones, payments, chat, promotions, and more). This keeps the system maintainable and makes it easy to extend with new features or markets.
Key features:
Ride booking and real-time dispatch · Zone-based fare configuration · Parcel delivery and tracking · Multi-gateway payments and wallets · In-app customer–driver chat · Push and SMS notifications · Promotions, coupons, and loyalty programs · Admin dashboard with business settings · Public landing site with blog
Tech stack / skills:
Laravel 12, PHP 8.2, MySQL, REST APIs, Laravel Passport & Sanctum, Laravel Reverb, Pusher, Firebase (FCM), Stripe, Twilio, AWS S3, OpenAI API, Modular Architecture (nwidart/laravel-modules), PHPUnit

I built QuoteKit because quoting a project should not feel like guessing in public.
A client starts with a package, shapes the scope, chooses a timeline and explains what they need. QuoteKit turns those choices into a working estimate, a realistic range and clear reasons behind the price.
It works in English and French, adapts to mobile and gives both sides a summary they can copy, download or print.
I designed the product, pricing logic and interface for NexusHub Studio. It is a small tool with a simple goal: make the first client conversation clearer.
QuoteKit is available for 10 USD with a commercial license.
What would you want an estimator like this to explain before you send a quote?
Quote clearly. Start better.
Explaining the estimate turns pricing into a much clearer conversation.

Transaction Details splits the payment record from the merchant card - status, card, transaction ID in one block, the store address in another. That separation is what makes a dispute resolvable.
