Laravel & PHP Backend DevelopmentAlberto Arena
I design and build robust Laravel backends for web applications — clean architecture, reliable APIs, and systems that scale.
What I can help with:
New Laravel applications from scratch
API design and development (REST)
Database modelling and query optimisation
Refactoring and stabilising existing codebases
Event sourcing and domain-driven design
Third-party integrations (payment gateways, CRMs, external APIs)
How I work:
I work on a time & materials basis, typically in weekly cycles. You get clear progress updates and clean, well-tested code at every stage. No black boxes.
Best fit for:
Teams or founders who need a senior developer to own the backend — not just execute tickets, but think through the architecture and flag problems before they become expensive.
FAQs
A brief overview of the project, your current tech stack (if any), and what outcome you're trying to achieve. A 30-minute call is usually enough to scope the work.
Yes. I write PHPUnit/Pest tests for business-critical logic as standard. Test coverage expectations can be agreed upfront depending on the project.
Yes, and it's something I do often. I'll start with a review of the current architecture before writing any new code, so we avoid making existing problems worse.
I work in weekly cycles with a short update at the end of each week — what was done, what's next, and any blockers. I'm available via messages for day-to-day questions.
