A live timer syncs across devices over Laravel Reverb WebSockets and catches conflicts when two devices start at once. Invoicing turns tracked hours into an invoice: continuous number series, PDF plus hours Excel, entries marked as billed, emailed to the client, cancel and restore. Exchange rates come from the national bank, and old SmartBill invoices can be imported with a dry run. Google, Microsoft and GitHub login, voice dictation, 300+ PHPUnit tests.

Creators upload large files straight to S3 in parallel chunks, chat with the brand and get paid through Stripe Connect or PayPal Payouts. Payouts are built so a retry, duplicate webhook or race can never pay twice: idempotency keys, row locks and a reconciler that checks against the providers. Laravel 13, Vue 3, CI with Larastan level 6 and tests.

I first wrote 353 automated tests capturing the old behaviour, upgraded in steps, and compared old vs new on real data: PDFs, Excel exports, stock of 1,535 products. Switched over outside office hours, with no user errors since. Along the way I fixed SQL injection in list filters, leaked password hashes, missing CSRF and page rights, and duplicate webhook orders.

It powers the worldwide sites of clients such as Bear Nibbles and Antea Group. Besides leading backend development, I handled project management and client contact for the larger projects.

Large videos upload directly to S3 with presigned URLs, so they never pass through the app server. Laravel Reverb WebSockets push live status updates, and an AI copywriting assistant streams ad copy word by word to the browser. Reviewers comment at exact timestamps and draw annotations on the video. Stripe subscriptions, 2FA and separate admin/client roles.

Then added an AI email assistant as a separate Laravel service (Claude) inside the team's email client: it only drafts, it is instructed never to invent prices or stock, every exchange is logged, and a person reviews and sends every reply.

I designed a new schema, wrote a migration tool that imported all history into MySQL, and built a Laravel API with an Ionic/Vue portal that is also an iOS/Android app. Investors view holdings and submit subscriptions and redemptions; admins approve, manage prices, run KYC and generate PDF reports. 2FA, encrypted fields, audit trail and e-signing. In production since 2022.

I built the Laravel + Vue 3 platform: identity-verification integrations, Stripe credits, 2FA and role-based access. AI adverse-media research runs as a background job with retries and a numbered source list in the PDF report. Nothing is sent automatically: an analyst reviews and approves every report. Research that used to be manual now arrives as a cited first draft.
