Laravel Testing & TDD
I write tests. Feature tests, unit tests, browser tests. Code without tests is a liability waiting to become a bug.
Testing isn't optional. Every feature I build comes with tests that verify it works and will keep working when the codebase changes.
I use Pest for most testing - it's cleaner than PHPUnit and makes tests readable. Feature tests for API endpoints and page flows. Unit tests for complex business logic.
CI/CD pipelines run tests on every push. If tests fail, the code doesn't deploy. Simple rule, reliable applications.
Why Work With Me
Deep Stack Expertise
Years of production experience with Laravel and Pest. 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
"Stu and I built an AI-powered documentation review tool together - it handled PR reviews, added frontmatter, found and linked related docs automatically. We went from idea to working product incredibly quickly. He's fast, he gets AI, and he's genuinely fun to collaborate with."

"Stu's been embedded with our team for over a year. Daily standups, same Linear board, same Slack. When we needed a maintenance tracking module built - tenant requests, status workflows, admin dashboards - he scoped it and shipped it in six weeks. Our clients think he's internal."

"We've worked with Stu for nearly ten years. When we sell a build we can't handle in-house, he's the call. Joins our Slack, matches our standards, delivers under our name. Clients never know. That's not something you get from a random contractor."
