Building Real-Time Carrier Quotation Systems with Laravel & Wix
A practical look at building real-time shipping quotation systems, carrier API integrations, caching, packaging logic, and reliable provider workflows.
Hi, I'm Muhammad Waqas Yahya.
I'm a Full-Stack Engineer with 2.5+ years of professional experience, specializing in Laravel, React and MySQL. I build scalable web applications, business systems, REST APIs, and third-party integrations with a focus on clean and maintainable code.
Experienced with Wix integrations and shipping platforms, while continuously expanding my skills with the MERN stack and AWS for modern full-stack and cloud development.
I'm a Full-Stack Developer with 2.5+ years of professional experience, focused on building reliable web applications, backend services, and business-driven software. My core technologies include PHP, Laravel, MySQL, React, and TypeScript.
I work extensively on e-commerce, shipping, and third-party integrations, including Wix integrations, real-time shipping rate calculations, carrier APIs, packaging logic, and complex backend workflows. I enjoy solving real-world engineering problems and turning business requirements into clean, maintainable, production-ready software.
I also work with Git and GitHub for version control and collaborative development, while continuously improving my understanding of AWS and modern deployment workflows.
Currently, I'm expanding my skill set by learning the MERN stack and exploring AI and LLM-based technologies. My goal is to combine my existing backend and full-stack experience with modern technologies and take on more challenging products and engineering projects.

Wix, Shipping & E-Commerce Systems
Cloud & Version Control
Currently Learning & Exploring
A selection of professional projects I've worked on across full-stack development, shipping and logistics, e-commerce, payment integrations, and API-driven applications.
A modern shipping and logistics management system developed at AlignPX. Worked on full-stack features using Laravel and React.js, including real-time parcel tracking, order management, shipping workflows, and third-party API integrations.
An interactive custom eyewear design platform developed at WADIC. Built the React frontend with a secure Laravel backend, implemented RESTful APIs, and integrated Stripe and PayPal for subscription and checkout experiences.
A university-incubated Islamic mobile application developed during my time at Punjab Information Technology Board. Worked primarily on the Laravel backend, building secure authentication, user roles, data management modules, and APIs for Quran learning resources, prayer notifications, and community features.
A PHP-based rental property project developed as part of my earlier web development experience. The project focused on property listings, rental information, database-driven functionality, and a user-friendly web interface.
A web development project from my earlier experience, involving application development, backend functionality, database integration, and implementation of project-specific business requirements.
A fitness-focused web application developed as part of my earlier project experience, involving application functionality, database-driven features, and a user-focused web interface.
Practical insights from building full-stack applications, cloud infrastructure, API integrations, and exploring modern AI-powered engineering.
A practical look at building real-time shipping quotation systems, carrier API integrations, caching, packaging logic, and reliable provider workflows.
How full-stack developers can integrate AI into existing applications through LLM APIs, structured outputs, RAG, tool calling, and intelligent workflows.
Moving beyond simple AI demos into reliable agent workflows with state management, tools, memory, human approval, retries, observability, and cost control.
