I’m a Backend Developer with 15+ years of experience building and maintaining web applications, primarily with PHP, MySQL, REST APIs, and frameworks such as Zend and Laravel. What makes me unique is my ability to combine problem-solving with a strong focus on performance, data integrity, and process automation. At Superlógica, I helped reduce credit operation processing time by 70%, and at OneTouch Health, I optimized a large PHP platform while working remotely with an international team. I’m looking for a remote Senior Backend Developer role where I can contribute to reliable, scalable systems, improve existing applications, and help solve challenging technical problems.

Employment History

Senior Backend Developer at Onetouch Health 2025 - 2026
- Healthcare platform development and maintenance: Developed and maintained a monolithic PHP platform for healthcare management, covering scheduling, billing, HR, and service monitoring modules. - Performance optimization: Refactored queries, removed redundant calls, and added indexes on critical tables, cutting page load times from up to 120 seconds to near-instant on many screens and 10 to 15 seconds on the heaviest ones. - Legacy code refactoring: Fixed syntax issues and centralized the most duplicated functions of the PHP monolith into a shared file, removing duplication and preventing components that should behave the same, such as modals, from drifting apart.
Backend Developer at Superlogica Tecnologia 2019 - 2025
- Credit operations automation: Led backend improvements in credit systems that cut operation processing time by 70%, eliminating data inconsistencies and bringing greater speed and reliability to the business. - Financial API development: Designed and built around 20 REST APIs for credit-domain financial operations using object-oriented PHP with Zend Framework and JavaScript, with strict data consistency requirements and unit tests to ensure business rule reliability. - Large-scale systems: Worked on a platform with 100,000+ registered condominiums that processed bank return files for over 1 million boletos (payment slips) per day, focusing on data consistency and performance. - Production monitoring and troubleshooting: Used Kibana and New Relic to investigate slowness and API call errors. - Environment and version control: Worked daily with Docker, Linux, and Git/GitHub in production, in Agile teams using Scrum, Kanban, and sprint management in Jira, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and control over the development process. - Architecture decisions: Actively contributed to backend architecture decisions, balancing performance and maintainability.
Web Developer at Grupo Confidence / Travelex 2015 - 2019
- Institutional and e-commerce platforms: Developed and maintained institutional websites and an ecommerce platform using PHP, WordPress, jQuery, and MySQL. - Deployment and internal process automation: Wrote shell scripts to automate tasks and improve deployment and maintenance processes, strengthening version control practices with Git and GitHub.
