Laravel Tech Lead

This profile represents a common leadership shape in the turnkey.dev network: a Laravel engineer senior enough to run the codebase and the small team around it.

Background

Ten years of PHP, the last several leading Laravel projects in e-commerce and EdTech. E-commerce work covered the full commercial path: catalog, cart, checkout, payments, and the integrations with shipping and tax providers that make or break launches. EdTech added multi-role products where students, teachers, and admins each see a different system. Leads by reviewing code, setting conventions, and shipping alongside the team rather than managing from a distance.

Strengths

• Laravel mastery. Uses the framework idiomatically, from queues and events to policies, so new hires can find their way around.
• Team leadership. Runs code review, planning, and releases for a team of two to five without adding ceremony.
• Integration work. Comfortable with payment gateways, shipping APIs, and the retries and webhooks they require.
• Vue where it counts. Keeps most pages simple and reaches for Vue on the screens that need it.

Typical engagement

Usually joins as tech lead or lead engineer on an existing Laravel product, full time. Eastern European hours with afternoon overlap into US Eastern. Available in about two weeks.
