Full stack PHP Laravel developer in Barcelona available for remote work in 2026

If you’re looking for a full stack developer available for remote work from Barcelona, this is my updated profile as of May 2026.

Core stack

  • Backend: modern Laravel, PHP 8.3+, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker
  • Frontend: Vue 3, Livewire, Inertia.js, Nuxt, TailwindCSS
  • Tools: GitHub Actions, Claude Code, MCP servers, Vercel, AWS
  • Testing: Pest, PHPUnit, Vitest, Playwright

This isn’t a buzzword list — it’s what I ship with daily in production environments.

Type of work I’m looking for

I’m open to:

  • Full-time remote employment with EU or US companies (via EOR or direct contract)
  • On-site or hybrid work in Barcelona for local companies
  • Long-term contracts as a freelance sole trader for distributed teams

Indicative salary range: €55–75k/year for permanent employment. Freelance day rate on request.

How I work

I’ve spent 3+ years in 100% remote and distributed teams across multiple timezones. My typical workflow:

  • Written specs before writing code — no ambiguity from day one
  • Short written or video standup (15 minutes max)
  • Detailed PRs with decision context, not just the diff
  • Claude Code as an agentic driver to accelerate cycles without cutting quality
  • Architecture decisions documented in the repo, not buried in Slack threads

What I can take over in the first weeks

In a product team I usually create value quickly in three areas: unblocking features that cross backend and frontend, bringing order to technical decisions that grew messy under delivery pressure, and improving release confidence through testing and better-written PR context. I do not need a perfect process to start contributing, but I do need a sane backlog, repository access and clarity about business priorities.

Sectors I’ve worked in

Digital entertainment, fintech, delivery/logistics and B2B retail. I adapt fast to new domains — what I bring is architecture judgment and delivery speed, not just sector knowledge.

Why Barcelona for remote work

CET timezone (UTC+1/+2) with full overlap across UK, France, Germany and Netherlands. 4 hours of useful overlap with US East Coast. No visa friction for EU companies, and direct invoicing as a sole trader with 0% intra-community VAT.

Availability

Available to start in 2-4 weeks, depending on the role, team and collaboration model.

I am especially useful in teams where backend, frontend and quality ownership are still too fragmented. That is where a full-stack profile with product judgment tends to have the strongest immediate impact.
