Scalable Laravel + MySQL backends, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, and REST APIs powering mobile apps and enterprise systems across Qatar and the GCC.
Senior Laravel engineering for businesses across Qatar and the wider GCC — REST APIs that power mobile apps, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, and enterprise systems built to last. I design clean, scalable Laravel + MySQL backends that mobile apps, dashboards, and integration partners can rely on in production for years. My Laravel work today powers Estonian government port operations, multi-branch ERPs, HR systems, and growing SaaS products.
Database schema is the contract everything else depends on. I model it carefully before any code, with explicit thought to growth and reporting needs.
Versioned REST endpoints using Laravel API Resources, strict input validation, and consistent error formats. Contract is documented so mobile and frontend teams aren't guessing.
Feature tests for the critical paths — auth, payments, business rules. Not 100% coverage theatre, but enough to ship confidently.
Rate limiting, queue workers under Horizon, Redis where it pays off, secure file uploads, and policies on every model.
Deployed on hardened Linux with zero-downtime deploys, environment-specific configs, and proper log aggregation.
Monitoring, incident response, and ongoing iteration. I run the production environment, not just write the code.
Latest LTS Laravel with modern PHP 8.3+ features. Pragmatic use of new APIs — only where they make the codebase clearer.
MySQL 8 with proper indexing strategies, Redis for caching and queues, and read replicas when traffic justifies them.
Sanctum for API tokens (mobile), Fortify or Breeze for web auth, with 2FA and session security configured properly.
Horizon for visibility, retry policies that match the workload, and idempotent job design so re-runs are safe.
Pest or PHPUnit for tests, Larastan for static analysis, Pint for style, and Sentry for production errors.

View case study →For most CRUD-heavy enterprise workloads in the GCC, Laravel ships faster, costs less to host, and has a deeper hiring market in this region. Node has its place (real-time, edge), but it's rarely the right answer for a multi-tenant ERP or a mobile-app backend.
Yes. Laravel scales horizontally with queue workers, Redis, and database read replicas. Architecture matters more than language choice — and well-architected Laravel scales to millions of requests per day on commodity infrastructure.
Compliance is a system-design problem, not a framework problem. I design auth, encryption, audit logging, data retention, and consent flows to satisfy Qatar PDPL, KSA NDMO, and UAE PDPL requirements — and keep the documentation a regulator would ask to see.
A focused REST API for a mobile app is usually 4–8 weeks. A full ERP backend with reporting, multi-tenancy, and integrations is typically 3–6 months. I commit to a delivery date in the scope.
Most projects involve integration — payment gateways, identity providers, accounting systems, third-party APIs. I scope these carefully in discovery and design idempotent integration jobs so failures don't corrupt your data.
Yes — typically as a monthly retainer. Maintenance covers security updates, incident response, minor feature work, and quarterly review of monitoring and performance.
