About

I'm a Backend Software Engineer with experience building APIs, integrations, scalable systems, and modernizing legacy applications. Throughout my career, I've worked on business-critical systems, including evolving a platform used by more than 400 dental clinics and solutions impacting more than 2,000 users.

I have strong experience with PHP, Laravel, Yii, TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Docker, Linux, Nginx, CI/CD, and observability. I've also been working on modern AI-powered applications, React, Expo, and fullstack architectures when needed.

Beyond my professional work, I'm an open source maintainer and contributor, with community-adopted projects including GLPI plugins, VS Code extensions, and integration libraries. I enjoy working on problems where backend, data, integrations, and product meet: systems that need to be reliable, easy to maintain, and useful for the business.
