Marcos M.

Vetted PHP developer in Brazil (UTC-3)

I spent 20 years solving the kind of system problems that don't make it into flashy portfolios—legacy infrastructure that needs to talk to modern systems, environments that grew without documentation, and manual deployments that no one wants to handle on a Friday. Technical background: → Go (5 years; 3 in microservices environments) → Kubernetes (k3s), ArgoCD, Harbor, full-stack observability → Prior experience with PHP, ASP.NET/C#, and large-scale legacy systems → Currently studying/applying: Rust What sets my work apart is my ability to see the entire system—not just the visible layer. I prioritize diagnosis before proposals and work with fixed scopes; you always speak directly with me, not a salesperson handing you off to an outsourced team. Open to conversations about infrastructure, system architecture, and projects where two decades of experience can make a real difference in the outcome.

José M.

Vetted PHP developer in Brazil (UTC-3)

I’m José San Martin, a web developer based in Brazil with 20 years of experience with Drupal/PHP/Symfony, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, React, mobile apps and product development. **Focus on what matters** It’s easy to get lost running around trying to catch up to the latest technology fad. It’s easy to get lost running around building a lot of features that seem urgent today and will be forgotten tomorrow. When you build a house, you need a solid foundation. When you’re building a project, your foundation is clarity: clarity about what problem the project is trying to solve, who it is for and how it fundamentally works. Without clarity, a project is a house of cards that will fall down the moment you need to extend it. My 20 years of experience allows me to distinguish the essential from the superfluous. I work with thinking of the long term: no flashy shiny thing and no wastefulness, but instead carefully thought-out simplicity, creating projects built to last.
