I'm Francis, a passionate web developer with a love for building innovative software solutions. I specialize in backend development, with expertise in the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL) plus use of the Laravel framework, and have built a CRUD app in Laravel 11 with numerous additions from my working experience (e.g. pagination, sorting, sending emails/attachements, middleware authentication, Blade templating, forgot/reset user passwords, PHPUnit testing, API consumption (WeatherAPI), Laravel Casher (Stripe payments), Redis basics - install/config/session cache driver, etc.). I'm also involved in frontend development (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) and working towards full-stack development.

On my GitHub, you'll find a collection of projects where I've applied my skills to tackle real-world challenges and explore new technologies. From the PHP Google Sitemap project to PHPUnit tutorial from Freecodecamp.org, each repository reflects my dedication to professional development and continuous learning.
