Back to Basics and Beyond: My Journey from Junior to Post-Grad Full Stack Developer

Hello world! It’s been a while since my last update here.

A lot has changed since 2020. I’ve transitioned from an aspiring coder to a Full Stack Developer, focusing on building scalable and efficient solutions for real-world problems. My journey has been driven by a passion for the PHP & Laravel ecosystem and a commitment to high-quality code.

Recently, I reached a major milestone: I completed my Postgraduate studies in Software Engineering at PUC-Rio, one of the top-tier universities in Brazil. This academic background, combined with my daily experience delivering freelance projects, has completely changed the way I approach software architecture, patterns, and clean code.

I’m back on DEV.to to share my insights on:

Modern PHP & Laravel: Best practices for building scalable applications.

Full Stack Architecture: Bridging the gap between academic theory and professional delivery.

The Freelance Reality: How to manage complex requirements and deliver high-performance software.

I’m looking forward to reconnecting with the community, exchanging experiences with other developers, and contributing to the ecosystem again.

Let’s connect and talk about code!
