About

Hello! I'm Eduar Bastidas, a full-stack PHP developer based in Venezuela.

I specialize in Laravel, Vue.js and Inertia.js, building SaaS products, REST APIs and tailored web applications. I've been shipping for the web since 2017, with a focus on writing scalable, maintainable code that follows the best practices of the Laravel and PHP community.

Beyond code

When I'm not coding, I'm usually playing video games with co-workers and friends, or planning the next weekend day trip. I like to protect my weekends so I can start each work week with full energy.
