Language & Tools

* Backend: PHP, Laravel (Ecosystem: Horizon, Dusk, Lumen), Node.js, Python, Express.js
* Frontend: Vue.js, React, JavaScript, TypeScript, Livewire, Three.js
* Databases: MySQL, MongoDB, SQL Server, Redis, SQLite
* DevOps & Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, GitHub Actions, AWS, GCP, Bitbucket Pipelines
* AI & Tooling: Generative AI (Prompt Engineering), Ollama, FAISS, GitHub Copilot, Cursor

Currently Exploring

What you're learning or tinkering with right now.

I'm deeply immersed in the practical applications of **Generative AI**, focusing on building full-stack solutions that leverage its power. This includes creating semantic caches with **FAISS** and **Ollama** to optimize LLM interactions, building applications with modern stacks like **Laravel + Vue 3/TypeScript**, and using AI-powered IDEs to measure and boost development productivity.

Achievements

Milestones, awards, or proud moments.

* Architected a key feature that **boosted user retention by 30%** at Turno.
* Led a performance optimization that achieved up to **500x faster queue processing** in a ride-sharing application.
* Reduced API endpoint response times by **40%** through strategic refactoring and query optimization.
* Solved a critical data visualization bottleneck, making map rendering **30x faster** when handling over 200,000 geospatial records.
* Measured and achieved a **\~40% reduction in development time** on a personal project by leveraging AI-powered development tools.

Fun Fact

A quirky tidbit or something unexpected about you.

Beyond the code, I'm a certified **Personal & Professional Coach**, **Leader Coach**, and also a certified **Hypnologist** with practical experience in hypnosis. I'm fascinated by what drives high-performing teams and the power of the human mind, having both taught leadership courses and applied hypnosis techniques in practice.

About: For over 15 years, my career has been driven by a central challenge: how to make complex systems faster, more efficient, and more secure. As a Tech Lead and Senior Developer, my answer lies in combining robust software architecture, relentless performance optimization, and leadership that empowers teams to deliver their best work.

Instead of just talking about "improvements," I prefer to focus on concrete results. At Turno, for example, I dove into performance bottlenecks and, through strategic refactoring and query optimization, reduced endpoint response times by 40%. At Evoke Mobile, I redesigned a queue processing system to make it 500x faster. It's not just about the code, but the impact it generates.

My leadership approach is practical: I've led teams in delivering critical domains, strengthened application security, and increased the reliability of CI/CD pipelines by resolving over 100 unstable tests. I believe innovation is a daily practice, which is why I integrated AI tools (like GitHub Copilot) into my teams' development workflow to boost productivity and code quality.

I seek opportunities where I can collaborate with teams that value technical excellence, transparent communication, and the continuous pursuit of optimization. Let's build something scalable together.
