Laravel + Inertia React business application

Eleve Architects Accounting

An internal accounting and operations platform built with Laravel 13, Inertia, React, and MySQL, covering client profiles, projects, billing, expenses, role-based access, and file-backed finance workflows.

Project

Overview

Eleve Architects Accounting is a Laravel monolith with an Inertia React frontend built for internal client-profile, project, billing, expense, and administrator workflows.

The Challenge

The product needed a secure internal business application that could handle finance-facing CRUD modules, authenticated admin workflows, public invoice payment steps, and file-backed operational flows without splitting the system into disconnected services.

My Role

Senior Full-Stack Developer

Architecture

Laravel 13 monolith for routes, validation, persistence, and policies

Inertia + React 19 app shell and module UI

MySQL for local application data and SQLite in-memory test coverage

Mail, PDF, file storage, and public/private finance workflows

Technical Implementation

Worked across the full stack: shaping authenticated flows, building role-aware CRUD modules, wiring client profiles, projects, expenses, billing, and administrator screens, tightening storage behavior for uploaded assets and payment proofs, and keeping the application backed by tests and production-ready configuration patterns.

Important Technical Decisions

Use a Laravel monolith with Inertia rather than split the product into separate API and frontend applications.
Disable self-service registration and make /login the application entry point for a controlled internal tool.
Drive sidebar rendering and route access from the same Laravel navigation registry so authorization stayed centralized.
Use MySQL for local development while keeping automated tests fast with in-memory SQLite.

Integrations

Fortify authentication, email verification, two-factor authentication, and passkeys
Role-based page access enforced through Laravel middleware and navigation config
Public and private file storage flows, including Cloudflare R2-ready disk configuration
Invoice PDF export, billing email workflows, and queue-listener-ready local operations

Key Challenges

Centralizing authorization so sidebar visibility and actual route access stayed consistent for each role.
Handling public invoice payment proofs and internal finance review flows without exposing the rest of the application.
Supporting local public storage and Cloudflare R2-ready deployment paths for logos and finance-related files.
Keeping a growing Laravel and React codebase stable through feature tests across auth, roles, projects, expenses, billing, and settings modules.

Solution

Delivered the application as a Laravel 13 monolith with Inertia and React, using Laravel for routing, validation, persistence, and access control while React handled the authenticated app shell, module UI, and day-to-day operational screens.

Result

Adds a stronger example of senior Laravel product work to the portfolio: a business application that combines authentication, authorization, finance workflows, file handling, testing discipline, and deployment-aware infrastructure decisions in one coherent system.

Technology

Live Project

This was delivered as a private internal application, so there is no public live link.
