Hello, I'm
Senior Backend Engineer with 10+ years designing and scaling systems in PHP, Laravel, and MySQL. Architected Redis-backed queue systems at 100% uptime, built multi-tenant SaaS platforms with Stripe, and deliver full CI/CD pipelines with Docker & GitHub Actions — from architecture to deployment. Currently pursuing a Post-graduation in Software Engineering with Applied AI.
I'm Pedro Ivo, a Senior Backend Engineer and founder of Ivo Company, based in Ubatuba, São Paulo. I specialize in PHP & Laravel with strong experience in MySQL, RESTful API design, Redis queues, and multi-tenant SaaS architecture.
I build high-availability systems using Redis Queues with multiple concurrent workers, Stripe-powered SaaS platforms, and CI/CD pipelines (Docker & GitHub Actions). I monitor production with Sentry, Slack alerting, and Laravel Nightwatch — applying SOLID principles, TDD, and service-layer architecture.
Currently pursuing a Post-graduation in Software Engineering with Applied AI (LLMs & Intelligent Systems) at Anhanguera Educacional — expected Dec/2027.
A well-rounded stack covering back-end, front-end, infrastructure, and methodologies.
