I already know my way around the basics of Laravel—about a year of study and small experiments—but I still struggle when it comes to building polished, production-ready applications. To close that gap I want a mentor who will let me learn by doing: you share your screen, walk me through building real features, then hand control over so I can code the same pieces while you coach me. Topics I want to dig into include Eloquent ORM best practices, middleware and robust authentication flows, Blade templating tricks, full environment setup, and the bigger Laravel ecosystem that ties front-end and back-end together. If an insight touches queues, events, broadcasting, or testing, all the better—I’m keen to see how it all fits in a real codebase. For projects, I’m open to anything that reflects day-to-day work in the field: e-commerce modules, content management features, RESTful or JSON:API endpoints—whatever you’ve built before and can rebuild with me watching. The critical point is that each session is live coding. I learn fastest when I can pause you, ask “why?”, and then try it myself under your guidance. Here’s what I’d like delivered: • Regular live coding sessions (screen-share with voice) scheduled to suit both of us • A shared repo or workspace where I can push my attempts and receive inline feedback • Occasional mini-assignments so I can practise between sessions and come back with questions When you reply, please outline: • Your Laravel experience—years, notable projects, any open-source or packages you’ve published • How you usually structure hands-on mentoring or pair programming • The tools you favour for live sessions (e.g., Zoom, VS Code Live Share, Tmux, etc.) Generic copy-paste proposals are easy to spot, so tailor your message to the points above. I’m ready to start as soon as we agree on a first session.
