Backend developer specialized in the Laravel ecosystem, with a strong focus on clean architecture, scalable systems, and maintainable code. Currently pursuing a degree in Software Engineering, I bridge the gap between robust backend services and elegant frontend experiences.
- 🔭 Currently building: Boardflow – a modular chess ecosystem for PHP/Laravel
- 🌱 Deep dive into: Asynchronous processing, queue systems, and infrastructure orchestration
- 🧠 Philosophy: Code is a liability – write less, test more, document everything
- 🎯 2026 Goal: Release Boardflow Core v1.0 and contribute to Laravel packages
- Laravel Ecosystem: Horizon (queue monitoring), Telescope (debugging), Sanctum (API auth), Queues & Jobs (async processing)
- Package Development: Creating and maintaining Composer packages on Packagist
- Database: Advanced modeling, normalization, and performance optimization
- Security: XSS prevention (
htmlspecialchars), SQL injection mitigation, prepared statements, CSRF protection - File Generation: PDF creation from HTML/Blade, Excel/CSV exports from database streams
- E-mail generation: With custom style from HTML/Blade and dynamic data
- APIs: Google Maps integration, RESTful design, multilingual system implementation
- Legacy Systems: Extensive experience with PHP 5.7 through 8.5, refactoring and security hardening
- Soft Skills: Mentoring junior developers, leading sprints, technical documentation (PHPDoc)
Framework-agnostic PHP library for chess logic: move validation, FEN/PGN handling, game state management.
Laravel integration with Blade components, routes, and UI for embedding chess boards.
Pluggable engine layer supporting Stockfish and custom AI for move calculation and analysis.
A comprehensive Discord bot built with discord.py, designed for server management, utilities, and fun. Currently in early development.
Experimental project combining K-means clustering for edge analysis with a Laravel backend visualization dashboard. (On hold)
Enterprise attendance solution integrating Laravel with C++ SDK (Futronic) for fingerprint verification. (Private repository)
I maintain several packages on Packagist focused on Laravel utilities and chess logic components.
- Container Orchestration: Deepening OKD/OpenShift knowledge for production deployments
- Discord Bot Development: Mastering
discord.pyfor Chimera Bot - Software Architecture: Advanced patterns, abstract classes, final classes, interface segregation
- Code Quality: Expanding static analysis with PHPStan level max and custom rules
- OS of Choice: Arch Linux (btw) – also comfortable with Debian 13 (trixie), Kali, and Mint
- Team Dynamics: Advocate for clean git histories (interactive rebase, squash) and protecting sensitive data with tools like BFG
- Languages: Portuguese (native), English (professional proficiency),
Japanese (paused) - Hobbies: Cybersecurity tinkering, Chess (a lot of it), low-level C++ experiments, and occasionally breaking my system
