Laravel rescue project

Transformed a decade-old internal CRM and project management system from a bug-ridden nightmare into a secure, modern application with AI-powered features.

Technologies Used

The Challenge

The company had built their own internal CRM and project management system in Laravel over the course of a decade, but after being passed to an offshore team, the system became heavy with bugs and technical debt. The client was experiencing constant frustrations with their development team and the system was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain and enhance.

The Solution

I was brought in to minimise bugs and add new features. We conducted major Laravel upgrades, resolved numerous security issues identified in penetration testing, and implemented AI-powered features that integrate with OpenAI for time-saving activities. I worked closely with the team to improve user experience, added a comprehensive test suite using Pest (making great progress towards full coverage), and assisted with their mobile app release.
