Experience
- Speaker @ PHPeste: RESTful Best Practiceshttps://www.slideshare.net/igorsantos07/restfuuuu-boas-prticas-restful-phpeste-2017
I was invited to speak at PHPeste, the biggest PHP conference from the northern part of Brazil, after a successful CFP submission. My talk was about RESTful do's and dont's, best practices, and tool suggestions to create APIs; I spoke to around 200 people (280 in total at the event).
I was also invited to translate questions for Rasmus Lerdorf, PHP creator. - Geru - Debt Calculatorhttps://invest.exame.com/mf/calculadora-gratuita-ajuda-voce-a-quitar-suas-dividas
This was a standalone React project I built. It involved heavy math calculations and featured a series of unit tests to make sure all numbers were crunched correctly, given the company samples.
The original product is now offline, so the link leads to a PR release. - Sameach Vedações - Responsive Redesign
This was an old "product.. display" website that needed a layout revamp. They were advertising online and were receiving a lot of mobile access, so I had to redesign their site with responsiveness in mind.
- Konato - Events Directory
An event directory focused on students and professionals alike, searching for talks, congresses and similar activities to boost their curriculum.
Sole developer, building everything from the database to the front- and back-ends, using PHP7, Laravel 5, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Heroku.
It is open-sourced at https://github.com/konato-events/web - Calories - Sample React Project
This was a sample app I created to study and display some React and REST skills. It was based on a friend's ideas, and consists of a small web app to log food calories and control your daily intake - there's also an admin role where someone can alter users. The API explorer is easy to use and enables developers to test the RESTful API methods directly from the documentation page.
- How to Build a Multilingual App: A Demo With PHP and Gettext (Publication)Making your website or web app available to a wider audience often requires it to be available in multiple languages. For non-English projects, you can increase your audience by releasing it in English as well as your native language. Internationalizing and localizing your project, however, becomes a much easier process if you start during its infancy. In this article, Toptal Software Engineer Igor Gomes dos Santos shows us how to leverage simple tools, like Gettext and Poedit, to internationalize and localize a PHP project.
