Percy Astocaza

Designed and built data-intensive applications using mostly PHP. These applications include ETL processes for reporting tools, data delivery to customers, and RESTful API's. I'm a serverless enthusiast and always like to use the best tool for the problem.

A lot of experience with PHP, from CLI scripts to full web apps. I've started in my local college club writing scripts with mysqli and separating concepts in files, then transition to the zend framework and the MVC architecture, introducing OOP and composition concepts. I've used Zend, Codeigniter, Symfony and Laravel, currently mostly using the latter to build scalable applications that are 90%+ test code coverage, using the best practices and concepts that I learned over the years. Most of the apps that I developed are hosted using the AWS stack (EC2, S3, RDS, ElasticCache, ElasticSearch, SNS, SQS, DynamoDB, Api Gateway, Lambda) and the ocassional local hosted app for NGOs.

I've been using Laravel daily for over 7 years and have deployed several applications with it.

I've scraped various sites in different countries for several clients for over 5 years, with volumes of over a million page hits a day.

I've built multiple web apps, from SaaS to LandingPages, using APIs, monoliths, serverless and I always try to learn something new to improve my toolset.
