I'm André Fernandes, a full stack developer with over 9 years of experience delivering complete solutions from backend infrastructure to responsive frontends for companies across Europe. While my background includes deep work with WordPress and PHP, I’m equally confident working with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, and modern tooling it just never seems to be my main focus but I am not scared of a good challenge. I’ve built dynamic UIs, integrated APIs, managed multi-environment deployments, and created middleware that connects applications to external services like CRMs and analytics platforms. On the DevOps side, I’ve worked with AWS services (EC2, RDS, Route 53, S3), set up Linux-based servers, optimized performance at the stack level (PHP-FPM, Nginx, MySQL), and built CI/CD pipelines using GitHub/GitLab. I can confidently configure and maintain production infrastructure, as well as deploy updates safely and efficiently. I’ve successfully worked remotely with an Irish company for years, collaborating across design, SEO, and development teams. I’m based in Portugal and work on UK time imezone or communication have never been an issue. What drives me is clean, efficient, purpose-driven code. I enjoy working in teams that value ownership, trust, and strong planning. I thrive in environments where I can take initiative, lead technical decisions, and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. I’m looking to join a team where I can contribute across the stack — not just building features, but helping shape systems, infrastructure, and product quality.
