He blends deep backend expertise in PHP, Swoole, gRPC and event-driven microservices with modern frontend and cloud practices, pragmatically integrating LLM-based tools for prototyping, code analysis, and documentation. As founder of DifferDev he has directly impacted 800+ developers through hands-on mentorship and curriculum design, and he actively speaks at Brazil’s top PHP conferences on topics from frameworkless architecture to NoSQL migration.
