About Xavier

I help SMEs and scale-ups design or modernize their ERP and business back-ends built in PHP (including PHP 5.6 and very legacy applications), gradually evolving them towards more reliable, tested, and secure Laravel bases.

I provide support for existing Laravel applications or old PHP monoliths to stabilize the code, introduce tests (TDD), and guide your teams towards a more robust and maintainable foundation.

I also work on securing Laravel applications (OWASP best practices, role management, data protection), with a specialization in security currently under development.

What I do:

  • Design and evolution of ERP / management tools / business back-ends under Laravel.
  • Refactoring and maintenance of PHP legacy (including PHP 5.6) towards a modern, more reliable, and testable Laravel foundation.
  • Setting up development environments (Docker/Podman) and configuring Apache/PHP server bases for pre-production or production.

Do you have specific needs? Accustomed to taking on complete and complex projects, I develop custom web solutions, from the scoping phase to production, with close support.

Technical Back-end Skills:

  • PHP 5.6 / 7 / 8
  • Laravel 5 to 12
  • MySQL.

Testing / Deployment / Versioning:

  • PHPUnit,
  • GitHub / GitAction
  • Continuous Integration,
  • Multi-browser testing: BrowserStack.

Front-end:

  • HTML5
  • CSS3 / SASS
  • JavaScript (TypeScript, jQuery)
  • Blade / Twig / Smarty
  • Bootstrap / Foundation.
  • French

    Native or bilingual

  • English

    Conversational
