01
Laravel sites & CMS
Showcases and back offices for trades and brands. Editable content, local SEO, measured motion — not a disposable demo.
Context
Code, craft, AI and trust.
Web & mobile developer in Montpellier — Laravel sites, Flutter apps, Sylius shops.
Context
The context
I'm Albert Nicolas. I ship pro sites with admin (like Vannalec), Flutter business apps (Carnet de Bord) and Sylius e-commerce (Olivar Raphael). The through-line: understand the client's trade, ship something editable, and put it online cleanly (IONOS, preview before DNS). No buzzword catalogue. A mastered stack — Laravel, Flutter, Sylius, Docker — and deliveries you can still maintain six months later.
I'm a web and mobile developer with a strong focus on operational enterprise AI: MCP servers, tool calling, RAG, and on-prem / VPS rollouts. I also own the trust layer — AES-GCM, mTLS, secret rotation — so your agents don't punch a hole in the stack. From prototype to production: Laravel architecture, modern fronts, Docker/Nginx hardening, and interfaces that hold up.
What that looks like in practice
A site the tradesperson can update without calling me for every photo. An app that works offline. A shop with real stock and payments. A documented deploy. I leave a clear admin, tidy env vars, and delivery notes — so the project outlives the first sprint.
Territories
Three axes I push hard
02
Flutter apps
Business iOS/Android apps: offline, Firebase sync, PDF, auth. Carnet de Bord level, wired to a solid backend.
03
E-commerce & go-live
Sylius shops (catalog, Stripe, stock) and IONOS deploys: preview, SSL, then DNS cutover.
Fit
Who I work best with
Tradespeople, producers, freelancers and small teams who want a clear tool — not a multi-tenant factory. Fuzzy briefs without constraints become workshops. Briefs with a deadline, users, and one clear technical constraint become deliveries.
- Showcase site + admin for a trade or SME
- Flutter mobile app on an API / Firebase
- Sylius shop (catalog, stock, payments)
- IONOS go-live with preview before DNS
Method
How I work
Little ceremony, lots of useful surface area: priorities, preview, and written “done” criteria.
01
Clear brief, trade priorities, iterative delivery — every step leaves something demonstrable.
02
Admin usable by someone who is not a developer.
03
Mobile and web tested on a real phone before calling it done.
04
Online preview before touching the client’s DNS.
05
Secrets out of git, anti-spam forms, HTTPS — the basics without theatre.
06
Clean handoff: admin access, checklist, and what you need to continue without me.
Experience
Freelance and projects — from client craft to go-live.
