Laravel Expert for Marketplace Script Update

I need a Laravel expert to update my Freelancer marketplace script to the latest version of Laravel. In addition, there are a few bugs that need fixing.

Here are the details:
- The current version of the script is a few years old, and I'm not sure about the specific Laravel version. But an experienced Laravel developer would be able to identify it.
- Unfortunately, I don't have access to the source code. Therefore, you will be working with the existing setup.
- I can provide detailed descriptions of the bugs that need fixing. I can list them out with examples to help you understand the issues.
- Please note that this is the first phase of the project. Upon successful completion, the second phase will involve adding and updating some features.

The ideal candidate for this job should have:
- Extensive experience with Laravel
- Experience in updating Laravel projects to the latest versions
- Ability to work with existing code without access to the source
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
- Good communication and collaboration skills, as I will be providing detailed descriptions of the bugs and working closely with you on fixing them.

Please only bid for this project if you meet the above criteria.
