💻 Senior Software Engineer | 🕵️‍♂️ Web Crawling Enthusiast | 🇧🇷 Brazilian

I'm a passionate senior software engineer specializing in PHP, Node, Go and Python with a strong interest in web scraping & automation. I love diving into data, building efficient APIs, and creating tools that make the web more accessible.

In my spare time I work on a side project called ilovediscount.com that aims to democratize online shopping deals worldwide. The platform monitors major e-commerce websites, rapidly compiling their complete product catalogs and tracking price changes in real-time. This enables users to discover the best discounts available across global marketplaces.

The backend is built with Laravel 11, while the frontend uses React and Tailwind CSS.

• Laravel Octane with FrankenPHP serves as the HTTP entry point (no Nginx needed! 🚀).
• InertiaJS with SSR connects the frontend and backend seamlessly, making it a small yet efficient monolith.
• Laravel Horizon + Redis handles fast queue jobs (e.g., email notifications, password resets).
• RabbitMQ processes analytics and extension history.
• MySQL 8 serves as the main database, while ClickHouse powers analytics.
• ElasticSearch (WIP) is being integrated for hybrid search.
• Custom i18n system: A lightweight JSON-based translation system built in-house.
• WebSockets (Laravel Reverb) delivers real-time notifications.

• The main web crawler is built with Playwright, utilizing rotating proxies via Scrapoxy.io on spot cloud machines for dynamic IP rotation.

• Built with extension.js.org, React, and pure CSS.

• A small Go microservice manages notifications and extension history. It enqueues messages into RabbitMQ for background processing by Laravel.

• Everything is Dockerized and orchestrated using Coolify.
• Running on a Contabo VPS with 24 vCPUs and 120GB RAM.
