Hi, I’m Eduardo, a web developer from Portugal with more than 13 years of professional experience. I’m an autodidact and I have created my first website back in 1999 and since that day I have been learning continuosly about web development.
My strenghts are creating object-oriented code, well-documented, with security and performance always in mind. The same applies with frontend with an emphasys on imagem optimization, minifying and compressing files.
Some of my own personal projects that are currently active
Fuel prices in Portugal updated by the site users. Each fuel station has it’s geolocation coordinates, brand, discounts, working hours, address and of course the prices.
It’s running on my own CMS written in PHP with a MariaDB database using the MVC pattern. It has a static file cache system, Gzip and Brotli compression and HTTP/2 Server Push support.

A sample of some older projects that were replaced by newer versions or that are no longer active
Before this site that you are currently browsing, I hosted a blog on this domain. It was the previous version before this mini-portfolio now online.
It was written in Portuguese, focused on web development subjects like compression, SSL, cPanel configurations, etc. There was a quarterly feature were I would share the statistics of multiple personal websites and gave the percentages of users with different browsers and operating systems.
A new law was passed to make it illegal for department stores to give free plastic bags to their costumers. The cost of a plastic bag was now 10 cents, but some greedy businesses started to charge for bags that weren't covered by this new law.
The idea was to name and shame such businesses but fortunately (unfortunately for the website) such practices quickly stopped after the backlash from the consumers.
The Portuguese also now adopted reusable bags so the website really didn't have a purpose anymore.
The Internet loves cats and dogs. I mean, who doesn't? Pictures, videos, memes, the Internet is full of it.
This was my attempt to make a website targeting that topic. It had some success in Brazil, but lack of time and personal interest in the website lead to it's demise so eventually it was shut down.
