About Me

Background & Profile

I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience building and shipping web applications. I specialize in PHP and the Laravel ecosystem, from database architecture to deployment on Linux servers.

Beyond writing code, I lead remote development teams using agile methodologies — coordinating across time zones with tools like Jira, Git, and Scrum. I've delivered solutions for marketing agencies, government integrations, and SaaS platforms across Brazil and the United States.

Self-taught and driven by curiosity, I bring a practical, results-oriented approach backed by strong academic foundations in Computer Engineering and Computer Science. Available for remote opportunities worldwide.
