My name is Samuel, I’m 29 years old, and my journey in programming started early, driven by curiosity and the desire to understand how things work behind the screen. I wrote my first lines of code at the age of 12, and I've been working professionally in the field since I was 19.

I primarily work with PHP (yes, PHP is great, but not everyone is ready for that conversation 😄) and JavaScript. I have a degree in Systems Analysis and Development, and besides programming, I’m also comfortable working with infrastructure, virtualization, VM provisioning with Proxmox, Nginx, and all the other headaches that come with managing servers.

I have hands-on experience with MySQL, Redis, and WebSocket — technologies I frequently use to build real-time, scalable, and well-optimized applications.

More recently, I started diving into LUA to extend Nginx capabilities in a more flexible (and budget-friendly) way — because paying for the enterprise version isn't always an option, and CDNs don’t always solve everything.

Here, you’ll find a bit of what I’m building, learning, and sharing. Welcome to my profile! 🚀
