I saw your post on Craigslist for a part-time PHP Developer & am interested in finding out more. I have 7 years of experience working as a developer, including working in agency and startup environments. I'm also comfortable with the majority of technologies you listed, and am a huge fan of Laravel and found it to be my go-to framework for projects. I love how quickly you can get up and running with it and how well it scales as your application scales.

In terms of my work, I've launched several complex MVP's for small startups and enterprise clients which have helped them achieve their goals such as bringing on seed money and growing an active user base to bring in revenue. My clients include The Oyster Common, Strong Analytics, Eat In Chef & Bond. I've also been brought on to improve and maintain existing projects as well, most notably with JPD Studio & Play Nice Together. Most recently I've been working on a web platform for a company called The Oyster Common designed to improve and streamline the business tools of oyster farmers. The platform includes features like inventory management, a custom e-commerce setup, custom branding, and thermal tag printing. The main tech stack utilizes Laravel, vanilla JavaScript with a sprinkle of React for complex forms, and AWS & Digital Ocean with Ansible on the infrastructure side. The most challenging part of the platform so far has been configuring and integrating a thermal printer with the site, which will drastically improve the process for oyster farmers as many of them are unable to connect orders and tags together, and some still even write out these tags by hand. You can check out the site at https://oystercommon.com. You can also check out a small game I created built in Laravel, Vue.js, and jQuery UI that involves matching twitter handles to the tweet from that handle. The game is available to play at twittergame.larrylaski.com and you can view the code at https://github.com/llaski/twittermatchgame. You can check out more of my work at https://larrylaski.com.

Just to make sure I don't waste your time, I'm currently working as a freelance developer and would be available for 10 - 20 hours per week. I'm also based in NYC so this would be a remote position for me. I generally work remotely with all my clients and provide daily or weekly updates, and am almost always available on Slack.  The next step would be a 15 - 30 minute call to chat about project details and see if we would be a good fit. You can schedule a call with me at https://calendly.com/larry-laski/30-minute-meeting.

Regards,

Larry
