Benjamin Gazé

Senior Laravel Developer
Robust web systems & quality
Industrialized AI workflow

Presentation

Trained in the plastics and textile industries, I shifted to IT in 2005 and never looked back.

Laravel developer for 10 years, I design and evolve business backend applications in production: architecture, quality, stack migrations, performance, integration with information systems.

My approach is pragmatic: proven solutions, explicit data, structured documentation.
I integrate AI into my workflow in an industrialized way — specialized agents, domain skills, codified conventions — since August 2025.

I currently work as a senior developer for bnb.re, an agency and software editor based in Réunion Island.

Core skills:

  • Laravel backend and architecture
    Data modeling, APIs, software design
    Modular architecture, Composer packages, multi-tenant
  • Quality, migrations and production
    Pest, PHPStan, Pint, e2e tests, pre-commit hooks
    Major stack migrations
  • Industrialized AI workflow
    Claude Code agents, domain skills, codified conventions, disciplined commits
    Framing → Specification → Implementation → Validation
  • Tech lead and knowledge sharing
    Pedagogical code review, explicit conventions
    Documentation, ADRs, dialogue with non-technical teams

Tools

My tools are chosen for reliability, maintainability and production continuity.
Mature ecosystems, active communities, proven patterns.

Main stack:

  • Claude Code Industrialized AI workflow
  • Laravel 12+ Primary backend framework
  • Vue 3 + PrimeVue Rich frontend and business back-offices
  • Pest + PHPStan Tests and static analysis

Work at bnb.re

As a senior developer at bnb.re since 2019, I work on high-stakes business applications: architecture, backend, rich frontend, integration with information systems.
Common constraints: high reliability, integration with third-party information systems, scaling, availability, sensitive business data.

Scalar

Internal Laravel packaged stack at bnb.re, powering the vast majority of the company's client projects.

Built from independent Composer and NPM packages that can be assembled per project needs, Scalar speeds up delivery while keeping a robust and consistent foundation.

I have been contributing to Scalar since 2019 as a core maintainer and co-architect.

Habitab — housing management application redesign

Full rewrite of the housing management application used by the Regional Health Agency of Réunion to monitor housing and habitability conditions across the territory.

Modern Laravel 12 + Vue 3 + PrimeVue stack, CI/CD pipeline (PHPUnit, PHPStan, Pint, staging, e2e), multi-step V5→V6 data migration, dedicated performance batch.

Driven by functional batches, framing → plan → validation → implementation method, explicit conventions.

Regional Health Agency of Réunion

Requiring specific applications to address the particularities of tropical environments, the Regional Health Agency of Réunion entrusts bnb.re with the development and daily management of several strategic tools.

I was thus led to actively collaborate on various large-scale projects, including:

  • SILAV - Vector Control: application for monitoring Vector Control, centralizing field mission management, laboratory analyses, and medical case tracking.
  • LOOCS'EAUX - Water Quality Monitoring: water quality monitoring application for ARS Réunion enabling the control and tracking of sanitary analyses of drinking water.
