My professional experience is mostly in Internet/web development and applications derived from it with special attention towards security.
Since July 2001 I have been working as a freelancer and I have been using PHP since 1996.
In that time I have seen many different companies from the inside and many different ways to build applications and infrastructure.
During my time as a developer I have gained a lot of knowledge, experience and confidence in being able to resolve real issues.
I believe that the most important skill of a developer is the ability to find appropriate information on how to solve a problem and then evaluate it for usability and correctness.
My objectives when developing code may differ per customer but if it is up to me I choose to deliver high-quality and secure code.
Currently, I'm looking for remote freelance work, ideally using Laravel, or preferably to be part of project in a non-programming role, such as Pre/Post Sales Engineer, Project Manager, Scrum Master, CTO or Co-Founder.

Alicante, Spain |
Jul 2021 - now |
Lead Developer (remote)
I was asked to do a complete inventory of a mobile e-wallet application (Android, iOS swift) including the corresponding API and control panel (CakePHP), including connectivity to third-party providers, tech stack, hosting, etc.
After that I was tasked to lead the complete development of the project, for which I am building a team of developers to fix discovered issues and to prepare the application for public release.
In order to do so I implemented a development process, moving the source code into a source control system (GitLab), introducing to work with branches (GitLab Flow with environment branches), adding database migrations, dotenv-based configuration, enabling the use of different environments (such as development, test, production), configuring automated deployments and adding Docker configuration to be able as a new developer to quickly start with development.
Furthermore, I am also responsible for deploying, maintaining and monitoring the server infrastructure in AWS using Ansible.

For a group of medical clinics I was asked to do an inventory of the PHP 5.x based legacy in-house application to manage customer data and test results, targeting specifically the security of the system as it concerned medical data.

To prepare for automated deployment based on pushes to specific branches (GitLab Flow with environment branches) I wrote an Azure DevOps pipeline to be used for testing before deployment and configured a Docker container to mimic the server used in Azure DevOps.
