Experience

Klar Perícias | Full-stack Modern Monolith Platform

https://klarpericias.com.br/
I architected and developed a comprehensive full-stack platform for Klar Perícias, an extrajudicial expertise company. To meet their need for a high-impact public interface and a potent back-office, I implemented a modern monolith architecture using Laravel 12, Vue 3, and Inertia.js. This delivered a high-performance, SEO-friendly single-page application with SSR, eliminating the complexity of a separate API while maintaining strict data integrity.

My responsibilities included building a robust administrative panel using Filament v5 to manage the technical staff, services catalog, and incoming leads. I ensured seamless communication between the front and back ends using Laravel Wayfinder for strongly typed routing. I styled the UI with the next-generation Tailwind CSS v4 engine and Reka UI for accessibility.

Security and compliance were prioritized through Laravel Fortify for headless authentication and Spatie Activitylog for complete database auditing. By incorporating advanced Vite chunk optimizations and a rigorous automated testing pipeline (Pest 3 and Vitest), I delivered a highly scalable, maintainable corporate business tool that drives lead generation with lightning-fast response times.

CONCIL-IA | AI-powered Accounting Reconciler

https://github.com/arthurbes/concil-ia
I engineered CONCIL-IA, an intelligent desktop application that automates complex bank and accounting reconciliations. To solve the time-consuming challenge of matching financial transactions with varying semantic descriptions, I implemented a custom dual-layer matching architecture.

The first layer uses deterministic algorithmic logic in Python, Pandas, and Regex to perform high-speed exact matches on invoice numbers and cost centers. The second layer integrates the Google Generative AI SDK (Gemini 2.0) for probabilistic semantic matching. Utilizing advanced prompt engineering and forced JSON schemas, the AI pairs remaining records based on phonetic similarity and date proximity.

The system features a responsive, multi-threaded Tkinter GUI, custom currency parsing, resilient retry/fallback logic for API limits, and automated CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions. By transforming hours of manual, error-prone spreadsheet work into seconds of intelligent processing, this tool drastically increases productivity and accuracy for financial teams.

Modern SaaS Architecture | Laravel 12 and Vue 3 Boilerplate

https://github.com/arthurbes/laravelbp
I architected and open-sourced a high-performance boilerplate to serve as the foundational engine for modern SaaS applications. Focusing on strict separation of concerns, I designed a custom dockerized environment that isolates the PHP runtime, Nginx server, and Node.js build processes, ensuring maximum performance, security, and scalability from day one.

Beyond integrating the core stack of Laravel 12, Vue 3, and Inertia.js, my primary objective was to establish rigorous standards for code quality and developer experience (DX). To achieve this, I engineered automated CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions that enforce PSR-12 styling with Laravel Pint, guarantee strict type safety through PHPStan static analysis, and execute comprehensive test suites via Pest.

This project showcases my ability to design resilient, production-ready architectures and establish technical standards that accelerate development cycles and reduce technical debt for engineering teams.

Weather CMS | Headless Publishing Platform

I architected and developed the Weather CMS, a modern headless content management system tailored for technical journalists. My primary focus was building a highly scalable, decoupled architecture utilizing a Laravel 11 RESTful API for the back end and Next.js 16 (App Router) for a high-performance, SSR-enabled front end.

A key engineering challenge I successfully solved was the automated data enrichment engine: the system intercepts article publications, performs reverse geocoding via the Open-Meteo API, and persists a real-time weather snapshot directly into the database. This strategic decision eliminated external API latency for end users, guaranteed instant load times via server-side rendering, and ensured maximum application resilience.

Furthermore, I implemented a stateful cookie-based authentication flow across an Nginx reverse proxy, allowing Next.js middleware to verify sessions server-side to prevent UI layout flicker. The entire ecosystem was containerized via Docker for a seamless one-command setup, demonstrating my commitment to robust infrastructure, strict QA standards, and an exceptional user experience.

Enterprise Weather Forecast | Adobe Commerce Extension

I engineered a robust enterprise-grade weather forecast module for Adobe Commerce (Magento 2.4.x) that integrates real-time meteorological data via WeatherAPI.com. Designed to demonstrate advanced Magento architectural proficiency, I strictly adhered to service contracts to fully decouple the API consumption logic, ensuring maximum scalability and seamless future maintainability.

To meet strict enterprise security standards, I utilized Magento's EncryptorInterface (AES-256) for secure API key storage and rigorously applied the Escaper class in PHTML templates to prevent XSS vulnerabilities. I leveraged dependency injection and virtual types to create a custom Monolog logger, efficiently isolating API exceptions while avoiding cluttering the global system logs.

For the user experience, I built dynamic internationalization (I18n) that automatically detects the Store View locale to translate API responses. Combined with a lightweight, responsive UI using Magento's data-mage-init for JavaScript interactions, comprehensive PHPUnit test coverage (TDD), and resilient error handling for graceful degradation, this production-ready module highlights my ability to craft decoupled, secure integrations within complex eCommerce ecosystems.
