Laravel & CodeIgniter Feature Development

I’m extending an existing ecosystem that runs on both Laravel and CodeIgniter. The immediate priority is new feature development: fresh modules, REST-style endpoints and the related MySQL schema changes that make the data flow clean and fast. All work lives in a Git repository and must be written with maintainability in mind, so clear commits and meaningful messages are essential.

You’ll be touching every layer of the stack. On the back end that means PHP 8+, eloquent database design, query optimisation and careful performance tuning. On the front end you should feel comfortable wiring your controllers to lightweight views styled with plain HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript—nothing fancy, just clean, responsive interfaces that match our existing look and feel.

Typical tasks include:
• Designing and implementing new database tables or refining current ones for speed and integrity
• Building REST APIs and integrating third-party services where needed
• Writing unit or feature tests to protect the new code
• Pushing code through Git for review and merging

Acceptance criteria for each feature will be supplied as user stories; once your branch passes automated tests and a brief code review, the milestone is considered complete.

If you have solid experience juggling Laravel and CodeIgniter in the same codebase, are methodical with Git, and enjoy making performant PHP sing, I’d love to hear how you can help move these features from idea to production.
