What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, Agile team role where I can build scalable APIs and web apps, improve system reliability, and grow into technical leadership.

I am a full-stack developer with hands-on experience building and maintaining web applications and APIs for financial and educational sectors, working frequently with PHP (Laravel, Symfony), MySQL/Oracle, JavaScript, and React. I deliver reliable production systems, perform legacy maintenance, and integrate third-party services like Brazilian credit bureaus to enable data-driven decisions.

I collaborate in Agile teams, participate in code reviews and CI/CD workflows, and use Docker, AWS, Git and Bitbucket for deployments and version control. My background in Control and Automation Engineering and project work with microcontrollers and mobile apps complements my software development skills and problem-solving approach.
