I help businesses build production-ready SaaS platforms with Laravel, Next.js, payments, dashboards, APIs, and cloud deployment.
I turn messy product ideas into maintainable systems that clients can launch, operate, and improve. My strongest work is full-stack SaaS delivery: backend architecture, secure user access, admin workflows, payments, clean interfaces, and deployment-ready code.
AWS: Certified Cloud Practitioner, currently preparing for AWS Certified Developer - Associate DVA-C02.
Why work with me: I combine backend depth with product UI delivery, so you get someone who can build the workflow, not just the screen.

I am open to freelance and contract projects where a business needs a practical web platform built properly from the start.
Good-fit projects include SaaS dashboards, booking systems, internal tools, payment workflows, admin portals, API platforms, and Laravel or Next.js rebuilds that need cleaner structure.
Next step: send the business goal, the workflow you need built, and any deadline or budget range to slmapiyeye@gmail.com.

I also work with Redis, queues, caching strategy, search experiences, admin reporting, and AI-assisted workflow ideas when the product needs them.
AWS note: I have passed AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and I am preparing for AWS Certified Developer - Associate so my cloud work keeps moving from foundation knowledge into developer-level implementation.
| Service | Best for |
|---|---|
| SaaS MVP build | Founders or teams that need a functional product with auth, dashboards, payments, and admin workflows |
| Laravel backend development | APIs, database design, validation, jobs, queues, permissions, and secure business logic |
| Next.js product interfaces | Responsive dashboards, forms, tables, filters, detail views, and customer-facing flows |
| Payment workflow implementation | Checkout, subscriptions or one-time payments, payment status screens, and operational tracking |
| Admin and internal tools | Staff dashboards, management panels, workflow automation, reporting screens, and role-based access |
| Technical cleanup and handoff | Refactoring, documentation, setup notes, deployment fixes, and maintainability improvements |
| Step | What happens | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Discovery | We clarify the business goal, users, workflows, must-have features, and constraints | Clear scope and priority list |
| 2. Scoping | I map the screens, data, roles, API needs, and delivery milestones | A build plan you can understand |
| 3. Build | I develop in small, reviewable pieces with working demos and regular progress updates | Product features you can test early |
| 4. Handoff | I document setup, deployment, key decisions, and next steps | A maintainable system, not a mystery box |
| Project | Problem | Built | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal Developer Portfolio | Needed a clear public proof hub for skills, CV, experience, and case studies | Next.js portfolio, CV download, project proof blocks, analytics hooks, and Vercel deployment | A live profile clients and recruiters can inspect |
| Document Search Portal | Users need to find relevant content inside uploaded documents faster | Upload flow, parsing, search relevance, suggestions, highlighting, pagination, and caching | Better document discovery workflow |
| Risk Management Frontend | Protected risk workflows needed a product interface direction | Next.js screens for protected workflows and risk-management flows | Frontend foundation for a business dashboard |
| Risk Management Backend API | Risk workflows needed backend structure for access and protected operations | Laravel API foundations for auth, roles, permissions, and protected resources | Backend base for secure business logic |
| Prosuite Chatbot Hackathon | Product support needed an AI-assisted interaction prototype | Guided chatbot flow for support-style interaction | Fast proof of concept for AI-assisted user support |
Clear scope before build
Maintainable code over shortcuts
Documented setup and handoff notes
Mobile-conscious, usable interfaces
Honest communication about risks and tradeoffs
Production-minded decisions from the beginning
These cards use external GitHub activity services. The profile still works without them, but they give a quick signal that I am actively building.
I am currently available for freelance work on SaaS platforms, dashboards, Laravel APIs, payment workflows, internal tools, and Next.js product interfaces.
