Senior Software Engineer specializing in backend development, with 13+ years of experience building web applications, modernizing legacy systems, and delivering business-critical software. While my expertise is backend-first, I also have strong experience delivering full-stack solutions with React and Node.js.
I enjoy solving complex engineering problems, improving existing systems, and building reliable software that scales with business needs.
Over the years, I've built multi-tenant SaaS platforms, real-time collaboration tools, workflow automation systems, and data-intensive applications for enterprise organizations. I've collaborated with distributed teams across Brazil and Australia in Agile environments, participating in code reviews, mentoring developers, and delivering features from design through production.
My primary stack includes PHP (Laravel, Yii2) and JavaScript (React, Next.js, Node.js, Express.js), with working knowledge of TypeScript. I have experience designing REST and GraphQL APIs, working with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, AWS, GCP, and CI/CD pipelines.
I follow Test-Driven Development, SOLID principles, and Clean Code practices, with a strong interest in software architecture, system design, and scalable applications. I also use AI-assisted development tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to accelerate development while maintaining code quality.
I hold a postgraduate degree in Software Engineering, I'm a Zend Certified PHP 7.1 Engineer, and I'm certified as both a ScrumMaster (CSM) and Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) by Scrum Alliance.
