Do you need a full stack developer that can help bring complex web features to life? Could you benefit from working with someone that not only knows how to code, but someone that can also help you determine what you should code to optimize your customer experience and generate maximum returns on your investment? What if you could work with a developer that is also a digital business expert with experience in product engineering, marketing, and sales?

My name is Steven Fox and I'm not your typical software engineer. I am the owner of a successful online business and I have previously run a multi-million dollar product development and ecommerce company. For the past several years, I have focused on Laravel based websites and SaaS projects resulting in deep knowledge of the frameworks, integrations, and best practices. As someone that has hired some of the leading Laravel agencies, I can confidently state that by working with me, you will see a level of collaboration and results that meet (and sometimes exceed) what you'd get by spending $50,000/month for agency staff augmentation.

Here are some key development attributes I have in my toolkit:

Backend

• Expert-level Laravel developer with continued education practices
• Full stack, RESTful API, and microservice project experience
• Test driven development and extensive PHPUnit/Pest testing knowledge
• Modern PHP8+ coding practices
• MySQL/Postgres database management
• Queues and job processing
• Vapor projects and deployments (serverless)
• Forge server management
• Envoyer zero-downtime deployments
• Nova admin development
• Sanctum API authentication
• Echo/Pusher/Reverb integrations
• Stripe subscription and payment integrations
• Slack notification integrations
• Spatie Mailcoach, Media Library, Permissions, & more package integrations
• Web scraping, processing, and storage
• External Redis server management and integration
• Event sourcing development strategy
• Domain driven project structures

Frontend

• Vue.js SPA and Nuxt.js SSR/Universal app development
• Livewire
• Inertia
• Bootstrap and Tailwind styling integrations
• Vuex and Vuex-ORM state management
• API authentication integration
• Echo integration
• Scss/saas processing
• UI/UX best practices

I'm currently interested in opportunities involving ambitious projects and a high performing team where I can serve as a pivotal early hire/co-founder, ideally with a shareholder position (I can potentially offer investment and/or fundraising help for the right team). If you're launching a new product or rapidly iterating on an existing one, feel free to reach out to see how we can work together.
