I'm Jeffrey van Rossum, a product engineer from the Netherlands. I build and ship my own products, and I take on freelance Laravel work when it's a good fit. Apps, APIs, integrations. This site is Laravel too.

A lot of that work is the unglamorous stuff that has to keep working after launch: CRMs, webhooks, auth, data that needs to stay in sync. On the WordPress side I sell [Send to API](/products/gf-send-to-api) for Gravity Forms. Same kind of problem, different stack.

These days I also do a fair bit of AI work. Custom chatbots, RAG search, embeddings over a company's own content. [Datalumo](https://datalumo.app/) is built with Laravel. I've done similar work for clients as well.

PHP and JavaScript are what I work in most, plus HTML and CSS (usually Tailwind). Laravel and WordPress are the main stacks. I'm happy to pick up other languages or tools when a project needs it. AI has made that a lot more practical.

Why Laravel
-----------

I've used Symfony and CodeIgniter. Laravel is the one that stays out of the way and still holds up when things get complicated. Good for APIs, good for full apps, and testing with Pest or PHPUnit is a natural part of the workflow rather than an afterthought.

Dutch and international clients
-------------------------------

I'm based in the Netherlands and work with Dutch and international clients, usually remotely.

I often travel in Asia, including Hong Kong. When I'm in the region, visits and overlapping hours are easier.

What I take on
--------------

- Laravel applications and APIs
- Integrations, webhooks, CRMs
- AI chatbots and RAG search over your own content
- Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js and Livewire
- Tests with Pest and PHPUnit
- Hourly, project or contract. Rates on request

I work in Dutch and English, on my own or in a team.

More about how I work overall is on the [freelance](/freelance) page. Prefer WordPress? See [freelance WordPress](/en/freelance-wordpress-developer).
