My laravel experience started back with laravel 8. In my time at BlackAirplane, it was a favorite for many of the client projects we worked on due to how quick and simple it was to get going. Not to mention the huge amount of resources dedicated to its development. I have worked with laravel through 11 now and find it to be very useful for quick turn-around.
In addition to the traditional blade frontend, I have also developed multiple projects with vue as well as react through the use of laravel breeze. I have worked with several of the spatie libraries for various needs and setup extensive apis with passport and gateway. As part of my laravel work I also became a stripe certified developer and in addition to using the laravel cashier package, I have implemented the base stripe package for several customers.
