About Sergio

Senior PHP / Symfony / Laravel (Backend) Developer · React Native (Frontend) · AI & Claude Code Specialist · CTO

PHP · Symfony · Laravel · React · React Native · Next.js · TypeScript · AWS · Docker · AI · Claude Code

Hello! I'm Sergio, a senior backend developer and CTO with a strategic and product-oriented mindset. In over 15 years, I've designed robust REST APIs, scalable web platforms, and high-performance backend systems for startups and scale-ups, using Symfony and Laravel under SOLID, DDD, and clean architecture principles.

As CTO and technical leader, I've managed multidisciplinary and distributed teams, defined technical roadmaps, set engineering standards, and ensured the reliable delivery of complex products.

Frontend and Mobile: I also build modern web interfaces with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS, and iOS and Android mobile apps with React Native — a single technical partner covering API, web, and mobile from a single source of truth.

I work fluidly with Claude Code to prototype faster and deliver better code and UI, without sacrificing review or architectural rigor. AI is part of how I work, not a substitute for engineering judgment.

How I work: I focus on specific, well-defined tasks (architecture audits, API design, backend modules, web or mobile features, technical leadership, AI prototyping) where I provide clear and rapid value.

What my clients value:
- Complex ideas turned into clear, functional solutions.
- Code quality, performance, and long-term maintainability.
- A real technical partner who helps make the right technology decisions.

Areas: technical leadership and architecture · REST APIs with Symfony and Laravel · microservices and legacy modernization · React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind · iOS/Android with React Native · MySQL, Postgres, Aurora · AWS, Docker, CI/CD, and DevOps.
