Summary
I’m passionate about collaboration and my desire to understand more about both, people and technology, gave me the ability to have a unique perspective of technical definitions and business demands, so I can be a reliable bridge to the gap between tech and non-tech teams. I have joy working on different projects and learning every day, this is one of the main reasons I’m deeply interested (and involved) in Free and Open Source software. My goal is to always improve the dynamics of what I’m working on, striving to have a good and understandable code-base, produce clear documentation
(for developers and users), creating a healthy environment with amazing test coverage (which is easy to implement and extend), and contributing to building a solid infrastructure to support the team, with the ultimate goal of enriching the relationship between people, either teammates, clients, or stakeholders.
Experience
Western Digital | October 2018 – present
WEB DEVELOPER
Full-stack development working with PHP and WordPress. Developing custom themes, components, and plugins, improving WordPress customized themes, plus managing, securing, and maintaining multiple blogs, microsites, and single-page apps. Working closely with the design and UX, analytics, and SEO teams to have the tools and ways to make their jobs easier.
At WD I had the extra full-stack experience: I was the sole web developer with the task to improve the blog performance. It went from a homemade unstable cluster of five-dollar servers that barely had a working git repository to a fast, secure, scalable, and highly available infrastructure, with fully automated multi-dev DevOps workflow with CI/CD. Thereafter, I worked on a base theme that was lightweight and mobile-first oriented, automated media and database optimization, and created a maintenance routine for WordPress.
The result is clear, the corporate blog’s average page load time went from 31 seconds in August 2018 to 1.1 seconds in April 2022.
