Not a lawyer but if you have signed a contract that clearly binds any development you do in your work laptop to your company you work for.

It is not a breach of contract but you have given intelectual property of any software you coded in your laptop.

I suppose you can speak with your manager and the legal team and ask them to release the code you coded with a license compatible with the project you collaborated. If the focus of that project is different from the focus/market of the company you can talk them into this and make them accept a once-in-a-lifetime exception.

Good luck!
