Rebuilt a large, data-intensive website by migrating it from Zend Framework to Laravel.
Led development of a custom Laravel admin dashboard that interfaces with the existing database and powers the site’s content. Created modern, RESTful API routes for efficient data access and consumption. Developed the front-end using Laravel Blade templates and rebuilt major portions of the site’s legacy jQuery into clean, modern JavaScript. The result was a dramatically leaner tech stack with fewer dependencies, reducing long-term maintenance issues and plugin-related breakages. The new system also improved security and scalability thanks to Laravel’s robust architecture.
Technologies :
- Laravel
- Flex box
- JavaScript
- PHP
Highlights :
- This website allowed me the opportunity to work with Laravel for the first time.
- Using Laravel blades to weave together dynamic data and content as seen here; https://www.workreadycommunities.org/TX. There is a page like this for all 50 states with constantly updated information.
- This was also a great opportunity to build a large-scale site with hundreds of pages of dynamic content. Creating conditionals within each template based on the data that was provided to it.
