Laravel Authentication & Authorization
Laravel authentication and authorization: registration, login, email and phone verification, password reset, 2FA, roles, permissions, policies, gates, organizations/teams and access control — designed as a consistent system.
Authentication and authorization are easy to start — and hard to get right
Typical situations I help with:
- registration and login work, but the flow is full of edge cases nobody handled;
- email or phone verification exists, but is inconsistent or easy to bypass;
- password reset works, but token handling and expiry aren't reviewed;
- 2FA is missing or bolted on without a proper flow for recovery;
- roles and permissions are hardcoded, scattered or duplicated across the app;
- policies and gates exist, but aren't applied consistently to routes and controllers;
- there's no clear model for organizations, teams or multi-tenant access;
- access control is checked in some places, forgotten in others, and never audited;
- adding a new role or permission means touching many places in the code;
- nobody can clearly explain who can access what in the system.
If any of this sounds familiar, you don't need to rebuild the app. You need a developer who treats authentication and authorization as a designed part of the architecture — flows, roles, permissions, policies, gates and access control — with a clear model and consistent enforcement.
What I can do for your project
Authentication and authorization, designed as a system
I design and implement authentication and authorization for Laravel and Symfony applications — from registration and login to roles, permissions, policies, gates, teams and multi-tenant access. The goal is a clear, predictable model where access rules live in one place and are enforced consistently across controllers, routes, jobs, API endpoints and admin areas.
Work typically covers:
- Registration — clean signup flows, validation and account creation rules;
- Login — secure login, throttling, remember-me and session lifecycle;
- Email verification — verification flow, resend, expiry and edge cases;
- Phone verification — SMS-based verification, rate limiting and fallback behavior;
- Password reset — secure token handling, expiry and notification flow;
- 2FA — TOTP or SMS-based, with recovery codes and a clear UX flow;
- Roles — a real model instead of scattered hardcoded checks;
- Permissions — fine-grained permissions mapped to roles and users;
- Policies — Laravel policies applied consistently to models and actions;
- Gates — custom abilities for actions that don't map to a single model;
- Organizations / teams — multi-tenant and team-based access where it makes sense;
- Access control — routes, controllers, jobs, API endpoints and admin areas under one consistent system.
The goal isn't just "users can log in". It's a predictable access model your team can reason about, extend and audit — without hunting through the code for every check.
Why me
I have 4+ years of commercial experience with Laravel, Symfony and Vue.js, and I work as a Georgian IE on a remote B2B basis — clear contracts, invoices and communication. I focus on business results, not just code, and keep the process transparent with clear estimates and predictable delivery.
I've worked on authentication and authorization in real production systems — including role and permission models, policy-based access, team and organization structures and audit logging for permission changes. I know how these systems actually behave once real users and real edge cases arrive, and I design them so access rules stay predictable as the product grows. I work on a small number of projects at a time, so you get direct communication, fast feedback and a developer who treats auth as infrastructure, not as a checkbox.

Frequently asked questions
01 Can you add roles and permissions to an existing app?
Yes. I design a clear roles and permissions model, replace scattered hardcoded checks with policies and gates, and make access rules predictable across the app.
02 Do you implement email or phone verification?
Yes. I implement email and phone verification with proper expiry, resend, rate limiting and edge-case handling — not just the happy path.
03 Can you add 2FA without breaking the login flow?
Yes. I add 2FA (TOTP or SMS-based) with recovery codes and a clear UX flow, without breaking the existing login and password reset flows.
04 Do you handle organizations, teams and multi-tenant access?
Yes. I design organization and team structures with the right access rules, so users see and act on only what they should.
05 What is your cooperation model?
Remote B2B via Georgian IE. Hourly, fixed project or monthly retainer — depending on the scope.
