Senior Software Engineer

None

I was contracted to develop the backend for a corporate intranet application which handled multi-currency expense reporting and workflow automation. I joined a team with Angular frontend engineers and supplied the RESTful API as well as all backend services including web server, database and job scheduling. I once again used the Symfony php/mysql stack to deliver a tested and robust product.

Inpakt

Inpakt was a startup building a social network for people wanting to volunteer with nonprofit organizations, as well as a payments processor for such NPOs.

I was attracted to its socially responsible mission and became one of the first engineers on the team. We delivered MVPs built on symfony/php and mysql in a quick iterative fashion, as the company sought to find its product/market fit.

Our three-strong engineering team demonstrated how velocity can increase when adhering to professional engineering practices such as solid principles and TDD, as a healthy codebase was easy to mold and pivot as the business needed.

Sadly, the national market for donations offered little in the way of business viability. We were unable to penetrate foreign markets and the venture folded after less than a year.

Founding Engineer

SAPO

Contracting on behalf of PrimeIT, I joined teams working on large scale e-commerce and adtech products.

Sapo Voucher was a groupon-like service built on a heavily customized code igniter php+mysql platform, to which I introduced symfony components and increased testing coverage for better productivity and resilience, while keeping performance high.

Sapo Ads is a contextual text advertising service running on highly optimized php and bare-metal mysql instances. I helped deliver better campaign management capabilities.

Both products were available throughout the entire Portuguese-speaking community, meaning we were delivering high scale traffic efficiently to millions of users across Portugal, Brazil, North America and Africa.

Seeking to focus on full time software engineering on my own terms, I was engaged by a client in the automotive industry to develop a multilingual car rental platform. I once again used mysql, php and symfony for the job, deepening my knowledge of the framework while delivering a highly customizable system for stock management, booking system and marketing content management.
