What I'm looking for

I'm seeking international remote or relocation opportunities where I can build impactful, scalable backend solutions, reliable APIs, and automation for global environments.

I've led scalable backend systems and RESTful API delivery for the City of Garopaba, increasing public digital service availability by over 500% and automating workflows to improve operational efficiency by 40%.

I design and integrate reliable services in PHP and Python, contributing to architecture decisions, data consistency, performance optimization, and Smart City infrastructure that reduced energy costs by 60%.

Previously at Del Grande Inf. and Telecom., I built permission management and monitoring platforms, integrated distributed systems, modernized legacy applications, and supported high-availability production environments. I also created Prefa News, a PHP news distribution platform integrating more than 100 sources through REST APIs and AI-assisted content evaluation.
