I’m José Postiga. Senior Staff Backend Engineer at Infraspeak. I contribute and volunteer to well-known projects like Laravel-Portugal, VOST, and Fogos.pt. I’m also a speaker, mentor, and writer.
I’ve been working with web-related technologies since 2008 by developing well-tested, scalable, APIs in service-oriented architectures. I’ve also been managing teams of multidisciplinary professionals, implementing a culture of continuous integration and delivery, documentation, and helping developers improve their technical skills through one-on-one mentoring sessions.
Besides that, I like to write about tech/web/programming topics and I talk a lot about my daily work in my journal.
You can see my career history at my LinkedIn profile, and if you have any questions, or simply want to chat, contact me directly via e-mail or Twitter. Come say hi!
