Hi,
I live in Nairobi, Kenya GMT + 3 timezone so I think the timezone should not be an issue.
In addition, I speak English fluently since it's taught for 12 years (primary and secondary school) and is also the primary language in university.
I have one year's experience in using Laravel and 3 using CodeIgniter. I can also do database work in MSSQL Server and MySQL.
Regards,
Anthony.
