Summary

During my professional and academic development, I have mastered technologies and programming languages such as PHP, Laravel, Symfony, jQuery, Javascript, and Ajax - among many others. Always looking for creative and innovative solutions, latest tools, best practices, and methodologies related to software development, keeping the code efficient, simple, following design patterns, testable, and scalable.

I like to work in a challenging environment where I can show my talent, enhance my skills to meet company goals, and share experiences.
