Fernando “ferox” dos Santos

I am a Full Stack developer focused on PHP, Laravel, Drupal, automation, and script writing.

This site is my own corner of the web, where I can publish with fewer constraints and keep the content close to the tools I actually use.

What I work with

• PHP as a practical foundation for shipping real projects
• Laravel for application work and modern PHP workflows
• Drupal for content-heavy and structured web projects
• automation and scripting to reduce repetitive operational work
• FLOSS technologies whenever the decision is mine to make

How I think about software

I like software that is:

• readable
• maintainable
• inspectable
• portable
• useful to the people who depend on it

That usually pushes me toward simple deployments, clear code, and fewer unnecessary layers.

Outside the code

I care about open source culture, community, and the politics of the web. I have described myself publicly as a Fedora Ambassador and a Pirate, and both say something about how I approach technology: openness matters.

Life is a continuous learning process. Work makes me more rigorous. Travel makes life more colorful.
