Internal Agency ERP Solution

A Laravel-based web solution for managing important data for our business. I planned and designed the entire project architecture, routing, and security layers. I liaised with my colleague, a front-end developer, to bring a unique experience to our co-workers from the sales and accountancy departments. Completed a large portion of a new functionality, allowing our clients to seamlessly pay for our services via an online page generated from the invoicing module of the ERP.
