About Me

Senior backend developer with 10+ years of experience building robust enterprise systems, high-performance APIs, and complex financial integrations. Career spanning government, healthcare, NGOs, and cybersecurity — from microservice ecosystems with 120+ models and end-to-end invoicing to REST APIs used by multiple clients (web, mobile, and public portals). Hands-on experience with C#/.NET in nationwide mission-critical systems. Proven ability to design scalable backends, automate critical flows with queues and jobs, and integrate external services while meeting fiscal and financial standards.

My Approach

Code as product

I write clean, tested code prepared to evolve. Every module must be maintainable by someone else without needing explanation.

Automation over manual intervention

If a process repeats, it gets automated. Jobs, observers, domain events and async pipelines eliminate human errors and free up operational time.

Pragmatic simplicity

Complexity must be justified with measurable value. I prioritize direct solutions — the right abstraction solves today's problem without blocking tomorrow's.

End-to-end responsibility

I get involved from database design to production deployment. An endpoint isn't done until it works under real load.

// Ideal Opportunities

Roles where I can build solid and scalable backends — designing APIs, implementing complex integrations, optimizing performance with async processing and solving business domain problems with clean, well-tested code.

Experience

01

REST APIs and integration contracts

Design and implementation of authenticated REST APIs (Sanctum, JWT) with versioning, rate limiting and specialized middleware. Integration with SOAP/WSDL protocols for fiscal compliance, batch file generation for payment processors, and real-time communication (Pusher, SignalR) with segmented channels.

02

Electronic invoicing and financial integrations

Complete CFDI 4.0 invoicing cycle: stamping via PAC (SOAP/WSDL), payment supplements, cancellation with regulatory reasons, partial and global invoicing. Direct debit with 3 payment processors (HSBC, AMEX, PROSA) via batch files with proprietary formats and automatic bank response reconciliation.

03

Async processing and queues

Critical flow orchestration with Bus::chain and chained jobs (stamping → PDF → email). Background processing with Redis/queues to decouple intensive operations from UI. Recurring expenses with events/listeners that automatically generate future movements.

04

Data modeling and advanced Eloquent

Schema design with 100+ tables, Single Table Inheritance, polymorphic relationships, Global Scopes for segmentation, application-level multi-tenancy, UUIDs as primary keys, cascade soft deletes and full-text search with MeiliSearch/Scout.

05

Event-Driven Architecture and automation

13+ observers for business cascade automation (automatic invoicing, financial synchronization, email sending). Domain events with specialized listeners for package generation, correspondence and accounting processes.

06

Security, authorization and multi-tenancy

Centralized RBAC with seeder-versioned permissions (29 releases), ~100 authorization policies, custom middleware (ForceJsonResponse, configurable rate limiting), SAT digital certificate validation and multi-tenancy with automatic session context filtering.

07

AI-assisted development and AI API integration

Active AI integration in backend development workflow: GitHub Copilot and Cursor for code generation and refactoring, ChatGPT and Claude for debugging, complex query design and technical documentation. OpenAI API integration in projects: embeddings for semantic search, RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), structured prompt engineering and AI endpoint development with dynamic content generation.

Key Achievements
-rw-r--r-- End-to-end CFDI 4.0 invoicing pipeline with async orchestration (stamping → PDF → email)
-rw-r--r-- Sanctum-authenticated REST API for sponsor portal with registration, payments and invoice downloads
-rw-r--r-- Direct debit system with 3 payment processors and automatic reconciliation
-rw-r--r-- 4-microservice ecosystem with independent databases, centralized RBAC and shared-core
-rw-r--r-- Seeder-versioned permission system with incremental releases (29 releases without destructive migrations)
-rw-r--r-- Open source Composer package with 15,017+ installs and organic adoption
