Laravel Maestro Needed

Job ID: 37783974

Budget: €30 – €250 EUR

I'm looking for an experienced Laravel developer to update the dependencies on a 5-year-old Laravel project

Because nobody has touched the code for years, I can't get the composer to install all the dependencies properly without throwing errors.

**Project Tasks:**

- clоne my laravel project from a private GitHub repository
- create a new branch
- update all the dependencies so that one can run composer install and launch the app on php 7.4
- update laravel 5.7 to 5.8
- commit
- make a PR
- make an estimate for a second job which would update Laravel 5.8 to the latest version, so that I can also use it with php 8.2.

The upgrade to Laravel 10 is _not_ part of this initial job. I'd prefer to start with a simpler task (described above) and build on that in a later job with the same developer.

**Ideal Skills and Experience:**

- Profound knowledge in Laravel backend development
- Expertise in creating and managing server-side logic
- Experience with Laravel's ORM and Eloquent for database interactions
- Familiarity with deployment and environment management
- A systematic approach to debugging and testing

**Communication:**
For this project, I lean towards real-time updates and discussions via Whatsapp or Slack. It’s crucial for maintaining the flow of ideas and addressing any hurdles promptly.
