I am a Junior PHP / Laravel Developer
About
I’m a Junior PHP/Laravel developer focused on building and maintaining production web applications. I develop and maintain QuickSBA, a live EdTech SaaS platform used by over 2,000 teachers to manage school-based assessments, grading, and reports. My work covers backend development with Laravel, database design with MySQL, role-based access control, payment integration, and resolving real production issues. I enjoy working on systems that need to be reliable, maintainable, and easy to use. I’m particularly comfortable with Laravel CRUD workflows, data relationships, validation, and maintaining existing codebases. I’m currently looking for a junior PHP/Laravel role where I can contribute to real applications, fix real problems, and continue growing as a backend developer.
