Laravel Backend Development Needed

I’m building a new application and need a Laravel specialist to handle the entire backend. The core pillars are:

• User authentication – secure registration, login, password reset, and role-based access.
• Database management – design the schema from scratch, write migrations and seeders, and wire everything up to a fresh MySQL instance.
• API creation – clean, well-documented REST endpoints that the front-end team can consume straight away.

Laravel 10 is preferred so we can rely on the latest features and long-term support. Feel free to integrate Sanctum, Passport, or another token solution you’re comfortable with for authentication, as long as it stays native to the Laravel ecosystem.

Deliverables
1. Fully functional Laravel project pushed to a private Git repo.
2. All migrations, seeders, and Eloquent models for the new MySQL database.
3. Auth workflows (registration, login, forgot/reset password, email verification).
4. REST API endpoints with clear JSON responses and basic Swagger / OpenAPI docs.
5. Brief setup instructions so another developer can run php artisan migrate:fresh --seed and start using the API immediately.

I’ll review the code for readability, PSR-12 compliance, and efficient query handling. Looking forward to seeing how you approach clean architecture and test coverage.
