Niyanta Bhayani

I’m a backend-focused Full-Stack PHP/Laravel Developer with over 7+ years of experience building, scaling, and maintaining production-grade web applications. My core strength lies in designing robust backend systems using Laravel, core PHP, MySQL, and API-driven architectures, with a strong emphasis on performance, security, and long-term maintainability. I’m equally comfortable working across the full stack when needed, ensuring seamless integration between backend logic and frontend requirements.

Across my career, I’ve led and executed critical platform migrations, including modernizing legacy applications into cloud-native architectures on AWS. I’ve designed containerized environments using Docker, implemented reliable CI/CD pipelines, and driven transitions from Jenkins to GitLab CI/CD to improve deployment speed, consistency, and developer confidence. I’ve also integrated observability and monitoring solutions like New Relic to enable proactive performance tuning and faster incident resolution in live production environments.

What sets me apart is a strong product mindset combined with deep backend expertise. I don’t just deliver features-I focus on building systems that scale with business growth, reduce operational risk, and remain easy to evolve over time. I work closely with stakeholders to understand real-world usage patterns and translate them into clean, well-structured backend solutions.

Clients and teams value my ability to take ownership of complex systems, improve existing architectures, and deliver stable, secure platforms that engineering teams can confidently build upon. I’m most effective in environments where quality, clarity, and long-term thinking matter as much as speed.
