Open source packages
Laravel API Response
PHP Composer package providing a consistent, structured JSON API response layer for Laravel apps. Reduces boilerplate and standardises error handling at scale.
Laravel Package Doctor
PHP Composer package for Laravel projects that audits dependency health, security advisories, abandonment, Laravel/PHP compatibility, and upgrade risk. Produces a scored 0–100 report with actionable recommendations and CI exit codes.
Laravel Message Contracts
PHP Composer package that enforces strict, validated, versioned message payloads across microservices and async systems. Wraps payloads in a standard envelope, validates producer and consumer sides, exports JSON Schema and AsyncAPI docs, and detects breaking changes — transport-agnostic across RabbitMQ, SQS, Kafka, or Redis.
Laravel Rate Limit Dashboard
PHP Composer package adding visibility and operational controls to Laravel rate-limiting. Instruments throttled routes, persists metrics, and ships a secured dashboard showing real-time usage, top offending IPs/users/tokens, and per-route and per-user override controls — built on Laravel's RateLimiter, with health checks, threshold mail alerts, and retention pruning.
Laravel Deploy Guard
PHP CLI-first deployment readiness checker for Laravel apps. Inspects common production risks — debug mode, app key, pending migrations, queue/cache/storage/mail/filesystem configuration, and scheduler validity — and reports clear pass, warning, fail, or skipped results with actionable suggestions. Built for local, staging, and CI/CD use with JSON output and configurable fail thresholds.

Education
Bachelor of Computer Application
Bangalore University
Currently learning
AI/LLM engineering is where I'm actively investing time outside of client work. No production ships yet — digging deep into the fundamentals.
- LLM integration patterns — RAG pipelines, function calling, structured output
- Agent architectures — MCP, tool-use loops, multi-agent orchestration
- Local model workflows and fine-tuning basics
