Texas Laravel Developer — Statewide Coverage, Veteran-Led
I am a Texas Laravel developer serving Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and the rest of the state — Laravel 13 + Livewire 4 + Flux 2 + Tailwind 4 + Pest 4 builds end-to-end by one principal. 25 years in computer science, B.S. Computer Science from the University of Houston, U.S. Army veteran. Houston-anchored, statewide remote, in-person discovery available in the Houston metro.
Texas as a Laravel market
Texas is not one engineering market — it is four metros with distinct verticals. Houston is energy and healthcare and Microsoft-shop enterprises. Dallas / Fort Worth is financial services, telecommunications, aerospace and defense, healthcare. Austin is SaaS startups, B2B software, open-source-adjacent shops, and the public-sector tech surface at the Capitol. San Antonio is healthcare, military-adjacent contracting, and USAA-adjacent financial services. Each metro has its own buyer profile and its own pricing posture; this page is the statewide hub linking to the city-specific landings.
Why a statewide hub matters: Texas buyers frequently engage cross-metro. A Houston operator with an Austin division. A Dallas firm acquiring a San Antonio practice. A startup that incubates in Austin and grows to a Houston operations team. The statewide hub lets a buyer see the practice as a Texas practice rather than a metro-specific one, while the city pages do the local-signal work for buyers searching by city.
If your business is anywhere in Texas and you need Laravel work, this hub is the right entry. Pick the city closest to you for the local detail; if you operate across multiple metros, this page is your hub.
The Texas city pages
- Houston Laravel Developer — energy, healthcare, Microsoft-shop enterprises, in-person discovery available.
- Dallas AI Developer — financial services and Microsoft-shop enterprises (Laravel work in DFW is scoped through the national Laravel page).
- Austin PHP Developer — SaaS startups, open-source-adjacent shops, scale-ups.
- San Antonio Laravel Developer — healthcare, military-adjacent, regulated industries.
What I build for Texas businesses
- Custom Laravel 13 applications. Internal portals, customer-facing tools, scheduling systems, claim-review workflows.
- Legacy modernization. WordPress, ColdFusion, classic ASP, early-Laravel codebases brought current to Laravel 13 + PHP 8.4.
- Microsoft-shop integrations. Azure AD / Entra ID SSO, Power BI embedding, Microsoft Graph integrations — Laravel as the application surface.
- SaaS-shaped features. Subscriptions, multi-tenancy, role/permission policy, Sanctum APIs, Fortify auth.
- Production tests + CI. Pest 4 feature and unit tests, Pint-enforced style, CI pipelines that block merges on red.
Texas-specific signals
B.S. Computer Science from the University of Houston (Texas degree, in-state credential). U.S. Army veteran with Texas-anchored service history. Houston metro home base — in-person on-site available for sensitive engagements anywhere within a 4-hour drive (Austin, College Station, Beaumont, Galveston). Texas-resident tax status, Texas-bank-anchored business operations. The procurement-friction reduction from a Texas-based vendor is real for state-government, public-university, and Texas-anchored corporate buyers.
Are you available statewide, or only in Houston?
Statewide remote with Houston as the home base for in-person discovery. Austin and College Station are reachable by car within a few hours notice. Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and El Paso are remote-only for most engagements; flying in for kickoff meetings is possible for engagements that justify it.
Do you take Texas state-government engagements?
Subcontract-shaped engagements through a prime contractor are workable. I am not currently registered as a direct prime with the State of Texas; if your buyer requires that I will refer to a network contact rather than pursue the registration mid-engagement.
What is your hourly rate?
Bespoke, scoped per engagement, written into SOW before contract. Texas engagements are typically priced as fixed-scope-per-phase rather than hourly.
Do you work with companies that span Texas and another state?
Yes — multi-state SaaS, energy operators with non-Texas operations, healthcare networks with Louisiana / Oklahoma / Arkansas footprints. The work is structured around the buyer's operations, not the location of the engineer.
What is your turnaround time?
Discovery is 1-2 weeks. Build sprints are 2 weeks. Total engagement length depends on scope; typical Texas engagements run 4-16 weeks. Same-day responses on email during business hours.
Scope This Engagement
Single principal, plan first, working code on every checkpoint.
