About Me

Sergiy Soroka

Hi! I'm Sergiy, abackend/full‑stack developer with 8 years of experience in Laravel and PHP. I work as an independent developer under the DevRhino brand.

I have built e‑commerce solutions, SaaS platforms, a fintech platform, CRM systems, and dozens of online stores. I focus on clean architecture and code that is easy to maintain and scale, so your project doesn't need to be rewritten in a year.

Services

Laravel Application Development

For businesses that need a custom web application - such as a CRM system, admin panel, API integration, internal process automation, or SaaS product.

What you get: a working application built on Laravel with clean architecture, tests, and documentation, at fair and competitive rates.

Also available: a package of fixes and improvements for existing Laravel projects.

Online Store on LaraShop

For: entrepreneurs who want to start selling online without paying monthly fees for Shopify or hiring an agency.

What you get: a ready‑to‑sell online store on my own Laravel‑based platform LaraShop: product catalog, cart and checkout, payment and delivery integrations, admin panel, mobile‑friendly design, hosting setup. The backend is already built and tested, so you get a store in weeks, not months. No subscriptions, no plugin limits, the code is yours.

Laravel Project Audit

For: business owners who have anexisting Laravel project and want to know its real state: is it secure, is it slow, is it safe to develop further, or is it time to change the team.

What you get: a written report on code quality, architecture, security, performance, and dependencies, with aprioritized list of what to fix first and an estimate for each item.

Server Setup & Migration to Laravel Forge

For: projects running on shared hosting or a poorly configured VPS that suffer from slow speed, downtime, or missing backups.

What you get: a production server on DigitalOcean/AWS managed via Laravel Forge: SSL, automated deployments, backups, monitoring, queues, and acarefully planned migration with backups and minimal downtime.
