Hey — I’m Henrique Felix 👋

I build & ship web platforms that solve real problems. I focus on clean architecture, reliability, and interfaces that people actually use. My work sits at the intersection of backend systems (Laravel/PHP), modern front‑end (React, Tailwind), and developer productivity (CLI tools, automation).

Full-stack developer by trade, entrepreneur by heart, and guitar player by soul. Since 2013, I’ve been turning complex problems into clean, functional code. When I'm not in front of a terminal, you’ll probably find me with a cold beer in hand or planning my next venture. Simple as that.

• I love nature 🎣🌲, sport 💪, guitar 🎸 and reading 📚.
• I enjoy learning new stuff and making notes 📄.
• I like to travel and I like to have new opportunities 🛫.
• I'm an Open Source enthusiast 🤠.

What I do — short

• Build robust APIs and backend systems with Laravel: auth, RBAC, performance tuning and operational stability.
• Create responsive frontend experiences with React / Next and Tailwind; ship interfaces that scale across devices.
• Automate workflows with small tools and CI/CD: TypeScript CLI utilities, testing, and deployment pipelines.
