Top SchoolÁlvaro Soares is a founder and senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building and modernizing web platforms across Brazil's fintech, mobility, and events sectors.

Hands-on across the stack, he has migrated legacy Oracle/APEX systems to microservices, built incident management and payments features, and introduced DevOps practices at scale. His work spans PHP/Lumen/Laravel ecosystems, integrations for high-volume services, and practical architecture for operational resilience.
