Laravel & Node.js package author · Surat, India
Senior PHP / Laravel developer at Artoon Solutions, Surat — seven-plus years of production web applications. On the side I write open-source developer tooling: profilers, security scanners and upgrade checkers for Laravel and Node.js, now past 5,900 installs.
A backend developer who kept hitting the same debugging walls and started shipping tools for them.
I'm Jaydeep, a Senior PHP / Laravel developer based in Surat, Gujarat. I started out in 2019 and have spent the years since building and maintaining production web applications — Laravel and CodeIgniter on the server, MySQL and MongoDB underneath, JavaScript, Vue and Node.js on the other side of the API. These days that also includes leading a team and owning CI/CD pipelines at Artoon Solutions.
The part I enjoy most is tooling. Every large Laravel codebase I've worked on had the same blind spots — nobody could see where a request actually spent its time, nobody knew which controllers were dead, and every framework upgrade was a gamble. So I built five Laravel packages and one for Express to answer exactly those questions. They're MIT-licensed, on Packagist and npm, and past 5,900 installs.
I also write CodeYard, a structured frontend learning platform, and run DevNest, a daily.dev squad for Laravel, PHP and DevOps content. Outside of all that I'm usually learning something new, watching or playing sport, or travelling.
Developer tools I maintain, all MIT-licensed. Install counts are live figures from Packagist and npm.
Inspect, profile and visualise every stage of the Laravel request lifecycle — from bootstrapping to response — with millisecond execution timelines and captured SQL queries. The tool I reach for when "it's slow" needs a real answer.
composer require jaydeep/laravel-time-machine
An Artisan command that scans your codebase, composer.json, config and
.env for breaking changes before you commit to a Laravel 9, 10, 11, 12
or 13 upgrade. Turns a weekend of surprises into a checklist.
composer require jaydeep/laravel-preflight
Static security scanner for Laravel projects — flags SQL-injection patterns, missing auth middleware and XSS risks, then generates a readable HTML vulnerability report you can hand to a client.
composer require jaydeep/laravel-guarddog
The GuardDog idea ported to JavaScript: static analysis for Node.js and Express apps across 61 rules covering injection, auth, async pitfalls, crypto misuse and schema bugs.
npm i -D @jaydeepgadhiya/guarddog
Understand a large Laravel application you didn't write: architecture visualisation via Mermaid diagrams, dead-code detection and dependency mapping, straight from an Artisan command.
composer require jaydeep/laravel-xray
Full lifecycle tracking for queue jobs — pending, running, completed and failed — from an Artisan command or a live web dashboard. For when the queue is the part you're flying blind on.
composer require jaydeep/laravel-queue-monitor
Production systems built across seven years. Client and product names are left out, and this is only a subset — most of what I have shipped stays under wraps.
Team lead & project manager
A single admin surface covering five separate modules, with a role hierarchy of super admin, admin, mentor and contributor. Front-side audiences are segmented into students, alumni, non-alumni and affiliates, each seeing a different slice of the platform.
Senior developer
Order management with per-item quantity handling and delivery tracking, plus an admin side for menus and stock. This is the project where I moved to module-based development — each area self-contained, so features could ship without destabilising the rest.
Senior developer
Four roles, each with a genuinely different view of the same data: super admin, admin, teacher and student.
Backend & admin
The Laravel REST API and admin dashboard behind a consumer health app that shipped on both iOS and Android. I owned the server side: endpoints for the mobile clients, the data model, and the dashboard the team managed it from.
Senior developer
Customer-facing booking flow for cylinder refills, with an admin panel for scheduling, tracking and fulfilling bookings end to end.
Laravel developer
Patient, doctor and appointment management behind a public-facing site — online appointment booking, doctor profiles with specialisations and qualifications, working-hours scheduling, bed and patient records, and a multi-language front end.
Laravel developer
A multi-role hiring portal: candidates keep profiles and résumés, search by keyword and location, set job alerts and track applications; employers post roles, search candidates and work through applications; admins control the content.
First role — PHP developer
Three roles sharing one system: admin, employer and candidate. Candidates browse and apply for jobs, then build a résumé inside the app and export it as a PDF. Employers post jobs and work through applications, approving or rejecting each one.
What I reach for day to day.
Things I've built outside of packages and client work.
Structured frontend learning platform
A self-paced curriculum for learning frontend properly — 20 modules across 121 lessons, sequenced so each one builds on the last instead of dropping you into a pile of tutorials.
Browser-based developer toolkit
The small utilities you keep googling, in one place and running entirely client-side: JSON formatter, Base64 encoder/decoder, UUID generator, hash tools and a URL encoder.
Browser logic puzzle — 50 levels
A take on snake where every level is a solvable puzzle rather than a reflex test: 50 hand-designed boards, each with a route that works if you find it.
Achievements reference for developers
A community resource documenting how every GitHub achievement badge is actually unlocked — written after finding the official docs unhelpfully vague.
daily.dev squad — founder
A squad I started for developers who want a steady feed of Laravel, PHP, DevOps and open-source material rather than another firehose.
Online solar-panel shopping platform
Final-year web storefront for solar panels — product catalogue, cart, order flow and an admin side for stock and orders. Where the PHP started.
Eleven public repositories, 74 followers, and whatever I'm currently breaking. It's all on GitHub.
Browse all reposSeven years, five teams, a lot of PHP.
