Custom Laravel applications built to last.
Mipaca Interactive designs, builds and maintains web applications and internal tools on the Laravel framework. Since 2007, I've helped clients replace spreadsheets, aging CMS sites and off-the-shelf workarounds with software that's reliable and easy to evolve, and connect it to the partners and services they depend on.
What I do
Hands-on engineering from first conversation to long-term maintenance, with one person accountable for the result.
API integrations & partner data exchange
Extensive experience connecting client systems with their partners' and vendors': consuming and building APIs, and automating data exchange so information flows reliably without manual re-entry.
AI features in your applications
Adding AI-powered features to Laravel applications through provider APIs, with secure key handling and usage kept in check. It's a growing part of my work, and I'm happy to start small with something practical.
Migrating to Laravel
Moving off an aging Drupal, WordPress or home-grown system? I plan and execute migrations that protect your data and your search rankings.
Upgrades & maintenance
Laravel version upgrades, security patches, performance tuning and bug fixes, for my projects or ones you've inherited.
AWS setup & management
Cloud infrastructure on AWS set up and managed for you: servers, databases, storage, deployments, backups and monitoring, so you don't have to think about it.
Fast launches with Laravel Cloud
Need to get a system live quickly? Laravel Cloud gets new applications online fast, with managed infrastructure that can grow with you.
Technical consulting
Code reviews, architecture advice and a straight answer on whether to build, buy or fix what you already have.
How I work
I'm not the cheapest option, and I don't try to be. Good engineering up front costs less over the life of the software.
Understand
We start with your goals and the problem you're actually trying to solve, before any code.
Build
Small, working releases you can see and react to, not a big reveal at the end.
Launch
Tested, documented and deployed with a plan for data, rollback and training.
Support
Ongoing care so the software stays secure, fast and aligned with where you're headed.
