Frequently Asked Questions

Can you build a REST API for my React Native / Next.js app? +

Yes — this is my most common project type. I build the Laravel API and also know the frontend, so integration is seamless.

Do you work with legacy CodeIgniter projects? +

Yes. I maintain and extend existing CodeIgniter 3/4 projects, and can also help migrate to Laravel if needed.

Can you set up hosting and deployment? +

Yes — I handle full deployment: VPS, cPanel shared hosting, domain, SSL, and server configuration.

Do you work with US clients remotely? +

Yes. I've built backends for US, EU, and Middle East clients. Available for async collaboration and EST/PST video calls.
