I build applications and lead the teams that ship them
I'm Rômulo, a tech lead and full-stack developer with more than ten years of PHP. I combine architecture, code review and applied AI to turn recurring problems into permanent solutions. Some become open source packages, like ActivityLog for Filament, used in thousands of projects.

About me
TECH LEAD ·
FULL-STACK PHP
I started programming more than ten years ago. I have worked in the public sector, in the private sector and on my own projects. In all of them the job was the same: truly understand the problem before writing the first line, and deliver something the next person can maintain.
Today my routine combines code and leadership: I architect solutions in PHP with Laravel (TALL Stack) and other languages, review code, mentor developers and make sure standards and quality survive the deadline. I maintain the ActivityLog plugin for FilamentPHP.
I also take AI seriously as an engineering tool: LLMs, coding agents, MCP servers, skills and plugins are part of my daily workflow, always with human review in charge. And I enjoy servers: deployments with Coolify, Docker and Linux VPS complete the package.
What I do
What I do beyond writing code.
Technical leadership
I lead teams as a tech lead: solution architecture, code review, mentoring and standards that keep the product healthy, from planning to delivery.
AI applied to development
LLMs in a real-world workflow: coding agents, MCP servers, custom skills and plugins that automate repetitive work and speed up delivery, always with human review.
Infra & DevOps
Linux servers in practice: deployments with Coolify and Docker, VPS, Nginx and CI/CD. Applications live, with a simple and reproducible deploy routine.
Full-stack development
Laravel with the TALL Stack and FilamentPHP every day: complete applications, plugins, APIs and integrations. Code the next person can maintain.
Stack
What I use every day, and what I reach for when the project calls for it.
Open source
Plugins I built and maintain for the Filament ecosystem.
ActivityLog for Filament
