When I'm not in front of a screen (or honestly, sometimes when I am) I'm probably fiddling with a synthesizer, rolling dice, mispronouncing Japanese words or carefully painting something very small.

Work Experiences

Laravel Backend Engineer — Phished (2024 –> present)
#Laravel #PHP #DDD
Cybersecurity has been close to how I think about software for as long as I can remember, so joining a company whose entire mission is to make people harder to deceive felt less like a career move and more like a natural next step. [read more]

Backend Engineer — Chess.com (2022)
#Symfony #Rust #Serverless
Working in Chess.com’s internal R&D team was one of those experiences where curiosity gets handed the keys. I spent my time designing and building systems at a scale I hadn’t touched before — the kind that keeps running whether you’re watching or not. [read more]

Fullstack Developer — Freelancer (2019)
#Laravel #PHP #Golang

Fullstack Developer — Noonic (2017)
#Laravel #WordPress #PHP
During this professional experience, custom requirements and customer relations were the daily bread, allowing me to further hone my proficiency in Laravel and projects architecture.

H-ACK Luxottica — H-Farm & Luxottica (2017)

A 48–hour challenge in a quickly evolving environment, to completely restructure the in–store experience.

Web Developer — Komlab (2016)
#WordPress #Magento #PHP #JS #Sysadmin
A year–long experience focused on all the ins–and–outs of creating Wordpress and E-commerce websites.

Web Developer — Freelancer (2014)
#WordPress #PHP #JS
Like many others, the jumping point was building websites: a difficult process at first, made better by making mistakes and growing on them.
