Hi, I'm Stuart.
I am a qualified programmer from Dublin and I have been working with the Laravel Framework since version 4, which was released in 2013. As an object-orientated programmer, I love the way Laravel does things and I build the vast majority of my websites and applications on it.
I am very experienced with almost all of the core Laravel features including Database Migrations, Eloquent ORM, Authentication, Notifications, File Storage, Job Queues, Task Scheduling and Testing. I work regularly with Horizon, Forge, Nova, Livewire, Filament, Inertia and Statamic.
What can Laravel do?
Laravel is an incredibly flexible web development framework. It can do anything really. Any website that you can think of could be rebuilt (and probably vastly improved!) on Laravel.
Custom Applications
Laravel takes the hard work out of building custom applications and private member dashboards. It simplifies the common things that apps required such as logging in, creating subscriptions, sending email and text notifications and processing data automatically.
SEO Focused Websites
If you want speed then look no further. Laravel uses modern methods to optimise website files and reduce load times. If you have a tonne of content to manage then the amazing Statamic can be integrated on top of Laravel to deliver an easy-to-edit and super-fast website.
Administration Panels
Laravel Nova and Filament allow me to quickly build administration panels with complicated data-tables, forms and actions. Systems like these can be used to manage all kinds of data and resources such as products, orders, machinery, employees, members or digital media.
APIs and Data Processing
Laravel is ideal for building custom APIs that provide valuable data to various consumers. We can also pull data from external sources and process it using automated tasks before returning it to wherever it's needed, in whatever format is required such as JSON, PDF exports or CSV data.
