Backend Developer Laravel / PHP

Hi, I’m Kerols Shafik. I build scalable APIs, integrations, and business systems.

2+ years building Laravel applications — e-commerce, CMS platforms, payments (Stripe), and enterprise integrations (SharePoint) with a focus on clean architecture and performance.

About Me

Practical backend engineering, clean architecture, and reliable delivery.

I’m a PHP/Laravel backend developer focused on building maintainable, scalable web applications. I enjoy designing clean service layers, repositories, and APIs that teams can extend confidently.

Recently, I’ve worked on payment integrations (Stripe), enterprise document management (SharePoint), and automated workflows (Shopify/Excel processing), while improving performance and security (RBAC, caching, query optimization).
