10+ years of software development experience building business applications, APIs, integrations, and scalable web platforms.
I'm a software developer with 10+ years of experience in web development, with a strong focus on PHP and Laravel. I build backend systems and business applications that are maintainable, secure, integration-friendly, and designed to grow with business needs.
My work spans SaaS platforms, multi-tenant systems, procurement and auction workflows, legal practice management, student marks/reporting systems, payment integrations, and cloud deployments.
I enjoy working across the full development lifecycle: understanding business requirements, designing database schemas and application architecture, implementing APIs and workflows, integrating external services, debugging production issues, and deploying applications.
- Laravel and modern PHP application development
- REST API design, authentication, authorization, and third-party integrations
- Multi-tenant SaaS architecture and tenant-aware data access
- MySQL schema design, query optimization, and data integrity
- Maintainable application structure, testing, and production reliability
- Cloud deployment and operational troubleshooting
AI/LLM is an additional area of interest, including local language models and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). My primary professional focus remains Laravel and backend engineering.
- Primary: PHP, Laravel
- Node.js, Express.js, TypeScript
- RESTful APIs, middleware, validation, authentication and authorization
- Background jobs, queues, scheduled tasks, notifications, webhooks
- Third-party API and payment gateway integrations
- Eloquent ORM and database migrations
- Service classes and modular application design
- Form Requests, API Resources, Policies, Gates and middleware
- Queue workers, events, listeners, notifications and scheduled commands
- Multi-tenancy and tenant-aware application workflows
- Automated testing with PHPUnit and Pest
- MySQL / MariaDB
- PostgreSQL
- MongoDB
- Database schema design, indexing, transactions and query optimization
- Tenant database isolation and workspace-scoped data access
- React.js
- TypeScript and JavaScript
- Inertia.js
- Vue.js
- HTML, CSS, Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS
- AWS EC2, RDS, S3, Cognito, SES and SNS
- Docker
- Linux / Ubuntu
- Nginx and Caddy
- Git and GitHub
- Composer, npm and REST API testing tools
- Deployment, environment configuration, logging and troubleshooting
- Ollama and local LLM experimentation
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Vector search and embeddings
- Qdrant and ChromaDB
- Integrating AI capabilities into existing applications
The following section summarizes project domains and engineering experience. Link each item to a public repository or case study only when the corresponding source code or documentation is available publicly.
Focus: Laravel · React · Inertia.js · TypeScript · Multi-tenancy
A legal practice management platform designed around organizations, tenant workspaces, firms/branches, and legal case workflows.
Areas of work include:
- Central platform and tenant provisioning
- Tenant-specific database architecture
- Organization and workspace separation
- Client and case management
- Court registry and hearing management
- Legal document management and storage foundations
- Tasks, reminders and notifications
- Dashboard, operational overview and workspace-scoped search
- Security, reliability and end-to-end verification
The architecture uses a central platform layer and tenant databases, with logical firm/branch partitioning inside a tenant workspace.
Focus: Node.js · Express · TypeScript · Prisma · MySQL · AWS
A multi-tenant procurement and auction backend supporting business workflows such as:
- Supplier management
- Auction events and bidding
- Request for Quotation (RFQ) events
- Purchase Requisitions (PR)
- Goods Receipt Notes (GRN)
- Advance Shipping Notices (ASN)
- Invoices, contracts and agreements
- Authentication and role-based access
- File uploads and AWS S3 integration
- Notifications and real-time events
- External ERP/SAP integration concepts and data exchange
Although this project uses a Node.js backend, it demonstrates experience with enterprise workflows, integrations, multi-tenant design and backend architecture.
Focus: Laravel · PHP · MySQL
A student marks and reporting application involving student records, marks data, database configuration, and deployment-related work.
Potential case-study areas include:
- Student and academic data management
- Marks entry and reporting
- Database schema and validation
- Environment configuration and hosting
Add repository links and specific features after confirming which implementation details are publicly shareable.
Focus: PHP / Laravel · Payment API integration
A payment gateway integration project. See the repository for the exact implementation, supported flows, setup requirements and current maintenance status.
Repository: narendraraghuwanshi/phonepe
Experience working with external systems and application integrations, including:
- GoHighLevel contact integration from CodeIgniter/PHP forms
- Tally data synchronization planning for sales, purchases, inventory, customers, outstanding balances and GST
- AWS services for authentication, storage, databases and email delivery
- File upload workflows and object storage
- API-driven workflows and operational reporting
These are project/workflow areas; add a public repository or case study only where the implementation can be shared.
Optional specialization: Local LLMs · Ollama · RAG · Qdrant · ChromaDB
Exploring ways to connect language models with domain-specific documents and business workflows, including legal-document retrieval and question answering. This is a secondary interest rather than my main developer positioning.
- Readable code: prefer clear names, cohesive classes and understandable control flow.
- Maintainable architecture: use patterns that solve real problems without unnecessary complexity.
- Security first: validate input, enforce authorization and keep secrets out of source control.
- Data integrity: design schemas and transactions around business rules.
- API consistency: use predictable responses, clear validation errors and documented contracts.
- Testing: cover important business logic and critical application workflows.
- Operational readiness: consider logging, configuration, queues, deployment and failure handling.
- Tenant isolation: ensure tenant-specific data access is deliberate and tested.
- Building robust Laravel applications and REST APIs
- Improving SaaS and multi-tenant application architecture
- Developing reusable integrations and maintainable backend modules
- Improving automated test coverage and code quality
- Contributing to useful PHP/Laravel open-source projects
- Exploring AI/LLM integrations when they provide practical business value
- Senior Laravel Developer opportunities
- Senior PHP / Backend Developer roles
- Laravel SaaS and multi-tenant platform development
- API development and third-party integrations
- Remote contract work and international collaboration
- Open-source collaboration around PHP and Laravel
