Laravel is the framework I use daily, and I’d love to share some of the projects I’ve worked on to give you an idea of my experience and capabilities.

ZimTickets (https://zimtickets.com)

I was responsible for building the entire backend RESTful API for ZimTickets. All the core functionalities you see on the platform—from ticket management to payments—were developed by me. The frontend was built using React (web) and React Native (mobile), but all backend logic, payment gateway integrations (Stripe, EcoCash, Innbucks, and ZimSwitch), WebSockets (Laravel Reverb), queues, and events were handled on the Laravel side. If you're curious about the functionality, you can create a regular user account, and from there, create an organizer account to explore the features I developed.

AagoTime (https://aagotime.com)

For AagoTime, I was brought in to migrate the UI from React to Laravel. My main tasks were implementing the new Laravel-based frontend and integrating features like the contact form and Stripe-based payment functionality.

Ore-Zone (https://ore-zone.com)

I developed the full RESTful API in Laravel for Ore-Zone as a freelance backend developer. This project was focused purely on the backend, and I was referred by a previous client for this role.

Most of my work has been backend-focused, but I’m also comfortable working full-stack with Laravel, and I use tools like Livewire where needed. If you'd like to assess my coding style or problem-solving approach, I’d be happy to complete a technical task or small challenge and share the results with you.
