I’m Chirag Daxini, a Technical Project Manager with 11+ years of experience in software development and project management, working at Acquaint Softtech. My expertise lies in architecting and managing scalable web applications that address complex technical challenges while driving tangible business outcomes.
My core strength lies in Laravel development, where I've cultivated hands-on expertise through numerous projects. However, my technical proficiency extends beyond a single framework. I've worked extensively with various PHP frameworks including CodeIgniter and CakePHP, which has given me a comprehensive understanding of different architectural approaches and design patterns.
As a Technical Project Manager, I've also successfully led diverse projects across multiple technology stacks, including React JS for modern frontend development, Python for data-intensive applications, and React Native for cross-platform mobile solutions. This broad exposure enables me to make informed architectural decisions and effectively bridge the gap between business requirements and technical implementation.
I've had the privilege of attending Laracon India twice, each time with a different role and perspective. My first attendance was as an audience member, where I immersed myself in the wealth of knowledge shared by industry experts and fellow Laravel enthusiasts. The conference opened my eyes to innovative approaches, emerging patterns, and best practices that immediately enhanced my development workflow.
That initial experience as an attendee planted a seed of inspiration. The opportunity to learn from brilliant minds, engage in meaningful technical discussions, and witness the passion of the Laravel community motivated me to contribute back. This led to my second appearance at Laracon India 2026, but this time as a speaker.
Laracon India 2026 holds a special place in my professional journey. Standing on that stage alongside Taylor Otwell, the creator of Laravel, was both humbling and exhilarating. It represented not just a personal achievement, but a validation of the knowledge I've accumulated and my commitment to the Laravel ecosystem.
This transition from attendee to speaker embodies what I believe is the true spirit of the developer community: continuous learning, sharing knowledge, and elevating each other.
Based on my experiences, I strongly suggest that all developers, particularly those working with Laravel or considering it, should attend Laracon India. Here's why:
The conference features cutting-edge presentations on Laravel's latest features, architectural patterns, and real-world implementation strategies. You gain insights that would take months to discover independently.
Laracon creates an invaluable opportunity to connect with fellow developers, team leads, CTOs, and industry thought leaders. These connections often lead to collaborations, job opportunities, and long-term professional relationships.
Being part of the Laravel community in person reinforces your commitment to continuous improvement and keeps you aligned with industry trends and best practices.
Hearing success stories and innovative solutions from peers reignites your passion for development and problem-solving.
At Laracon India 2026, I presented on "Adapting Vectorize Database Solutions in Your Laravel Application," a topic that addresses one of the most exciting developments in modern web application architecture. Vector databases are specialized systems designed to store and query high-dimensional vectors efficiently. Unlike traditional databases that work with structured rows and columns, vector databases excel at similarity searches and are particularly powerful for AI-driven applications.
Enhanced Search Capabilities
AI Integration
Performance at Scale
Competitive Advantage
The Laravel ecosystem is entering an exciting phase where AI integration is becoming a first-class concern. Taylor Otwell’s recent announcement of an official Laravel-based AI SDK represents a major step forward for Laravel AI development, making it easier for developers to create intelligent, AI-driven applications directly within the Laravel ecosystem.
This official SDK will likely provide:
Standardized interfaces for working with various AI services and models
Built-in best practices for prompt engineering, response handling, and error management
Seamless integration with Laravel's existing ecosystem (queues, caching, events)
Developer-friendly abstractions that lower the barrier to entry for AI implementation
I believe we'll see Laravel solidify its position as the go-to framework for building AI-augmented applications. The combination of Laravel's developer experience, the growing AI SDK ecosystem, and the community's innovative spirit will enable businesses of all sizes to leverage artificial intelligence effectively.
My journey from Laracon India attendee to speaker reflects the growth mindset that the Laravel community embodies. The conference has been instrumental in my professional development, and I'm committed to continuing this cycle of learning and knowledge sharing.
The topics I've explored today—vector databases, AI integration, and productivity enhancement—aren't just technical curiosities. It represent the future of web application development and present tangible opportunities for businesses to deliver better products and for developers to advance their careers.
I encourage every developer to engage with the community, attend conferences like Laracon India, and embrace the learning opportunities that come your way. Your next breakthrough might come from a conversation in a hallway, a presentation that challenges your assumptions, or the courage to share your own experiences with others.
In short, the future of Laravel is bright, and I'm excited to be building it alongside this incredible community.
With over 11 years of experience in web application development and project management, I excel in leading cross-functional teams to deliver innovative digital solutions. My expertise spans eCommerce platforms, ERP systems, and JS & PHP-based frameworks, including WordPress, React JS, and Laravel. As a Technical Project Manager, I specialize in strategic planning, system design, and end-to-end project execution, transforming complex ideas into scalable, high-impact applications.
