Julio Perdiguer
Full-stack software engineer · language-agnostic · PHP by trade, learning Go
A decade of shipping clean, event-driven systems. I mentor teams on DDD, hunt down tech debt, and I'm happiest wiring services together — comfortable in whatever language the job speaks.

About me
Well-qualified full-stack engineer with 10+ years in the trenches. PHP is my professional language and I keep it sharp, but I'm language-agnostic at heart — equally comfortable in Python, TypeScript, Go, or whatever the job needs. Right now I'm deep in learning Go. I love clean architecture: DDD, event-driven design and microservices. Also the proud author of the ncage Chrome extension.
