About me

I’m Pheak. I build practical web apps for small to mid-size teams: booking systems with email/SMS reminders, inventory & timesheets, dashboards, and custom admin tools — mostly with OctoberCMS/Laravel and I also worked WordPress/Elementor brochure sites and landing pages.

What I Do

📅 Booking & appointments with automated reminders
🏢 Company portals — clients log in to view orders, invoices, or project status
📦 Inventory & raw-material tracking with reports
🕒 Timesheets & internal tools for small offices
📊 Dashboards & simple analytics for decisions
⚙️ Workflow automations (emails, PDF exports, cron jobs)
☁️ Deploy on VPS (domain, SSL, backups, updates)
🖥️ Simple websites (WordPress + Elementor): home, services, contact, forms

Skills

OctoberCMS Laravel / PHP MySQL Alpine/JS Tailwind / CSS REST APIs Cron & Queues Email/SMS (SMTP/API) Linux / XAMPP / Nginx VPS / SSL / Backups WordPress / Elementor

How I Work

Plan: 1–2 short calls to map the workflow.
Build: small iterations; you test every week.
Ship: deploy with SSL, backups, and simple docs.
