I run a Laravel-based application that lives on a production server accessible only through FTP. I need a seasoned Laravel developer who can log in for 4 hours each day and build out a brand-new, custom advanced search feature. The search must go well beyond the basic full-text queries already available; I’m looking for tailored logic that matches our unique business rules and delivers fast, relevant results to our users. Here’s how I see the engagement: • You’ll connect directly to the live server via FTP, so please be comfortable editing and testing in a production environment while keeping downtime to an absolute minimum. • The focus is green-field feature development—no bug triage or refactoring queues distracting us. • I have a fixed schedule in mind: roughly four hours of hands-on coding per day, at ₹200 per hour, with clear daily check-ins so we both stay aligned on progress. • Deliverables are straightforward: the fully functional custom search module integrated into the existing Laravel codebase, any supporting Blade views or Vue components it requires, and concise notes on configuration so I can maintain it moving forward. If you’re confident working live over FTP and can craft an efficient, business-specific search workflow in Laravel, let’s get started.
