Laravel excels at API development. Built-in authentication with Sanctum, API resources for clean responses, rate limiting, and all the middleware you need.

I build APIs that are properly versioned, documented with OpenAPI, and designed to evolve without breaking existing clients.

Whether you need an API for a mobile app, a React SPA, or integration with external services, the patterns are well-established and the code is maintainable.

Why Work With Me

Deep Stack Expertise

Years of production experience with Laravel and REST API. Not just theory.

Weekly Progress

Working demos every week. See progress as we build, not after 3 months.

Production-Ready Code

Tests, documentation, deploy scripts. Maintainable code, not technical debt.

Direct Communication

No project managers. You talk directly to the person writing the code.

What Clients Say

"One of the things most organisations struggle with is finding that 'bridge' type of resource — someone who can speak product, understand the business, and shape the technical flow for today while keeping an eye firmly on tomorrow. Stu, on multiple occasions where I've hired him over the last 15 years, has been that guy. His consultative skills — listening, challenging back, and shaping technical solutions around what he hears — are second to none. His time management and expectation-setting are spot on too. He'll tell you where the risks are in the new and the unknown, so you're never left biting your nails in the dark. He lives and breathes tech, early-adopts just for the hell of it, but never oversells anything until it's genuinely safe and ready to use."

"Stu hired me and gave me a baptism of fire within AWS and infrastructure. Years later, I'm leading a DevOps team of eight. He's technically brilliant, but what I appreciated most was how he explained things - never made me feel stupid, always made time. We still help each other out regularly."

"Brought Stu in to review our AI tooling stack. He did a proper deep dive, gave us a clear plan, and containerised everything so devs could run it locally. Exactly the kind of practical, no-bullshit assessment we needed."
