Senior Full Stack Laravel + Vue Developer for Asian companies

I'm Ignacio Amat, Senior Full Stack Developer with 5+ years shipping production at scale. I work remote from Barcelona with Asian companies and scaleups: Singapore, Japan, India, South Korea, Indonesia. Async-first, C1 English, manageable timezone overlap, B2B contractor or EOR (Deel, Remote, Velocity Global).

Stack: Laravel 11, Vue 3, Livewire, TypeScript, AI-augmented (Claude Code, MCP). 5+ years in production.

Timezone & working mode

CET (UTC+1) → Singapore/Hong Kong difference: +7 h. Tokyo/Seoul: +8 h. India: +4-5 h. For sync-overlap roles, I offer 1-3 h CET morning overlapping Asia afternoon. For 100% async roles, my natural working mode covers any timezone.

Contract types

  • B2B contractor — Spanish sole trader invoicing USD/EUR
  • Asia EOR — Deel, Remote, Oyster, Velocity Global
  • Full-time remote roles with partial overlap
  • Project contracts, monthly retainer or team augmentation

Why hire me from Asia?

For an Asian company already running distributed teams, hiring me remote from Spain adds timezone diversity (European/African coverage while Asia sleeps) and consumer + regulated-finance experience. My PHP/Laravel + Vue stack is the same one used by Grab, Tokopedia and many SE Asia scaleups.

What I bring to an international team

01

CET morning / Asia afternoon overlap

Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo: 1-3 h overlap in my morning / their afternoon. India: comfortable 4-5 h overlap. Central Asia: aligns with European hours.

02

Proven async-first

Async is my default mode: written documentation, detailed PRs, decisions logged. Reduces dependence on synchronous overlap with any timezone.

03

Universal PHP stack

Laravel + Vue is the global standard in SaaS, e-commerce and super-apps. Fits directly into Grab, Tokopedia, Coupang stacks without adaptation.

04

International B2B invoicing

Spanish sole trader invoicing USD/EUR to Asian companies. No EOR needed if direct contractor is preferred. Spanish tax compliance handled by me.

FAQ — Asia companies

Do you work with companies from Singapore, India, Japan or Korea?
Yes, via B2B contractor or EOR. For Singapore/India, timezone overlap is reasonable (5-7 h difference). For Japan/Korea, async-first covers the gap. C1 English is the common language.
How do you manage overlap with Asia?
For roles needing overlap, I offer 1-3 h in CET morning meeting Asia afternoon (Singapore/Bangkok). For Tokyo/Seoul: ad-hoc overlap at start of Asian day or pure async. India: very comfortable 4-5 h overlap.
Do you accept EOR for Asian companies?
Yes. Deel, Remote, Velocity Global and Oyster operate across major Asian markets. The company hires through EOR, payroll and compliance handled by them.
Do you understand e-commerce and super-app at scale?
My closest experience is delivery (Glovo) and consumer brands (PlayStation, TikTok), where concurrency and release velocity are comparable. Multi-vertical super-app is new to me, but the modular/microservices pattern fits my stack.
What's your rate for Asia?
Indicative range $70–110/h freelance, or equivalent $110k–160k/year for full-time via EOR depending on market. Negotiable based on seniority and contract type.
Can you travel to Asia occasionally?
Yes, for kick-offs or key events. Long flights but feasible 2-3 times per year if the role justifies it.
