I saw your post on Craigslist for a Laravel Developer and would love to find out more. I've been working with Laravel for 4 years and it's become my go-to frameworks for projects due to it's simplicity, feature set (especially for testing), and ecosystem. I've also been able to personally work on projects with well known members of the Laravel community such as Adam Wathan and Matt Stauffer, and believe with my experience would be able to learn your project and accomplish tasks quickly.

One of my recent projects was for a data science company called Strong Analytic's where I built out a product for them to ingest business data from different sources for companies and then display a set of forecasted data for each source anywhere from 1 week to 12 months down the road. I handled building out the back-end in Laravel Spark & Postgres with TDD which primarily consisted of integrating the different data sources API's (such as Google Analytics, Stripe, Paypal, or even custom MySQL queries) and then building out an internal API for the front-end. They handled generating the forecasted data, and then I also build out the front-end  was a full single page application built in React, React Router 4, and React Ant Design) I also built out the cloud infrastructure using AWS and Terraform. While the product isn't fully released yet, I would be happy to give you a demo.

I've also 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. You can check out more of my work at https://larrylaski.com. Also I've actually never been asked for my Laracasts profile before - love seeing that! I've been following Jeffrey Way for years ever since his days at Nettuts and I'm a huge fan of Laracasts - https://laracasts.com/@ltrain.

A bit more about me - I help founders and visionaries bring their ideas to market, gain traction, and hit their next milestone, whether it be fundraising, gaining users, or gaining revenue. I'm able to combine my web development expertise with my product management and founder experience to help ensure what we build meets your business goals and puts you in the possible position to succeed. Communication is often my top priority, ensuring we are always on the same page and were both meeting each others needs.

Just to make sure I don't waste your time, I'm located in NYC so it would be a remote setup for me but can be available for calls on PST. My hourly rate is usually $85, though I prefer to work on a flat weekly rate for an ongoing project depending on the amount of work that needs to be done. 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
