Tech Lead / Software Development Manager at Imagex.Imagex is a specialized web development agency. Our primary tool is Drupal. We have multiple clients and different projects.I started as a Senior Software Developer in a Drupal (D7 to D9) migration project. A complete re-design with 4 different integrations in the backend with more than 2.000 users and 17 content types. After this successful project, I started as a Lead Developer for a new radio portal with a custom player that integrates with Drupal content. I also led two other projects related to education and marketing.After those, I had the opportunity to move to a management position. I'm the Software Development Manager for the Latam team, where I have 17 engineers who report directly to me. My main job is to ensure they have all the guidance and support to make progress in their career.I'm still in the technical area because I'm passionate about it, and I'm always looking to bring new tools from the world of development to my team and their projects. I also help the architecture team to improve our internal tools and process, always looking to improve our overall quality.

Worked full-time for RSC (Rock Star Coders) - a USA-based company.Our primary focus is to offer solutions to our customers using Web technologies.One of the first projects I executed was an application in Laravel for MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), specifically the MIT Sloan Management Review. It is a research-based magazine and digital platform for executives published at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.The application aims to facilitate the automatic distribution of content generated on the platform (WordPress) to its subscribers. It made a direct connection to the application's database, transformed the data, and distributed it in specific ways for each subscriber, such as SFTP, Email, and RESTful APIs.The following tools were used: Laravel, Vue JS, Queues. The biggest challenge of the application was engineering to facilitate new distribution methods without having to reconfigure all stages of the process and allow customization with additional fields for each customer if necessary. The use of SOLID and dependency injection through Interfaces has made the application flexible and robust at the same time.Another equally challenging application was for a startup that aims to keep Magento applications up to date and reliable. The platform has an automated backup system (code and database) and the Sucuri service interface to prevent attacks and malicious scripts. The application is also a network where Magento store owners can find developers to act on their applications in case of updates or critical issues.My last project was a legacy migration. The project didn't have a great engineer and didn't scale as the client needed. We used AWS Lambda, NodeJS, SQS, and other tools to move to microservices. The goal was to make the application more reliable, stable, and extendable.In general, we used Laravel, VueJS, NodeJS, MySQL, CakePHP, and AWS in most of our projects.

I served as a front-end developer for Johnson & Johnson using Drupal as a tool. I had the opportunity to work in several teams.I have worked in the maintenance and evolution of Acuvue and Acuvue Professional sites, ranging from understanding, developing, and deploying to production.I worked as a front-end developer for another Johnson & Johnson project, the JEB Awards (James E. Burke Marketing Awards). A web application where all global affiliates submitted their marketing projects to be evaluated. A very custom application led my team to win the Team Highlight award for the delivery.For Shell, I worked on the development of a Single Signon. In partnership with Janrain, we developed in VueJS and Laravel an application responsible for managing Shell's global customer profile.For ABInbev, I worked on developing and maintaining the Mi Modelo sales site (https://www.mimodelo.com.mx/) made on the Magento 1. x platform at that time. New features were designed from surveying, planning, and execution. The sales model is B2B, making the system handle multiple integrations and complex business rules.My last work was as a full-stack JavaScript developer on a project for the telecom company Vivo. The project consists of a new web platform to serve B2B clients. The primary motivation is to create an agile, manageable and scalable tool. The leading technologies I use are JavaScript, NodeJS, VueJS, Mustache, AJAX, Docker, and others.

For two years, I worked for my own company.I worked as a developer using web-based applications. I created custom applications to help our customers in their business. Using some of the best tools, like Laravel as a backend framework, Angular, React, and VueJs as the frontend.As a software house, we face some of our customers' most common problems in the market. Some of them needed to grow fast, and our solution helped.At that time, I had the most contact with the final users and learned so much about requirements, scope, and agile organization. It helped me better understand our customers' necessities and what we can do to increase their competitiveness. With that, I dedicated myself to learning UI/UX, process, Scrum, Kanban - and all the background around products and services. It was when I used my technical knowledge to connect with the clients.

Our primary customer was one of Brazil's most prominent e-commerce players. They had six stores, each of them on a different platform.To help them deal with all the orders, categories, and products (more than 500 at that time), they hired our team to build a flexible ERP constructed entirely with a well-documented API Rest, and we consumed that API with the ExtJS framework. We faced many challenges when we were making this product. Our customer had a distribution center in China, and they were selling the products in Brazil, so we had to deal with internationalization, currencies, invoices, credit card, and much more. It was a fantastic time to start my career.My main job was creating the frontend components and integrating them with the REST API.
