Ivan Stojanov
@ivanstojanov1
I build reliable Laravel payment systems from schema design through production incident response.
What I'm looking for
At Native Teams, I own end-to-end financial workflows in a Laravel 12 fintech platform, shipping contractor payouts and balance rewards that move real money.
I use row-level locking, idempotent transaction handling, Redis caching, queued jobs, and production monitoring to protect data integrity and improve performance under concurrent load. I also build invoice and receipt generation services and memory-flat CSV exports for large datasets.
Previously, I led PlayerCoach’s Laravel and Vue.js sports-coaching platform for four years, including Stripe and Onvo subscription billing, REST APIs, booking, scheduling, and real-time features. I’ve worked remotely with teams across the US, Canada, and Europe, and I’m available as an independent contractor.
