What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I'm Carlos Afonso Braga, a passionate web developer with extensive experience in full stack development. I have a strong background in PHP, HTML5, and modern frameworks like Laravel and VueJS. My journey began in São Paulo, Brazil, where I contributed to innovative projects in hydrometry automation and legacy system refactoring.

Currently based in Lisbon, Portugal, I have worked with various companies, including Aubay and BladeInsight, where I developed robust web platforms and APIs for sustainability-focused applications. I take pride in implementing best practices in software development, including automated testing and version control, to enhance project efficiency and maintainability.
