I'm Tony Varghese
I bring ideas to life with Laravel and create scalable, elegant web applications that drive real business results.
Been building apps with Laravel for 8+ years. Passionate about Laravel and fell in love with its elegant syntax, powerful features, and the way it makes complex tasks feel simple. The ecosystem has grown with me, and I've grown with it.
Full-Stack Capabilities
I'm a full-stack dev. This means I can build both the frontend and backend for you. Laravel pairs nicely with Vue.js and React. This enables me to build applications that work great on all devices - from desktop monitors to the phone in your pocket.
Experience You Can Trust
I've worked with businesses of all sizes. I especially have experience working in highly regulated industries like fintech and universities where compliance and security is taken seriously. Other devs may like to "move fast, break things" and fix 'em later, but I believe in getting it right the first time while still maintaining momentum.
Versatile Team Player
I've built applications from scratch doing everything myself from database design to deployment and maintenance. I also thrive in teams where I can communicate complex technical concepts in simple terms, listen more than I speak, and adapt my workflow to complement existing processes.
Marketing-Friendly Development
Marketing teams especially love me because I understand that beautiful code needs to translate to business results. I build with SEO in mind, make sure analytics integration is smooth, and create admin interfaces that don't require a computer science degree to update content.
