About

Lucas Zorrer

I live in Garibaldi, in the south of Brazil, and I’ve worked professionally as a developer since 2023. A lot of my work involves billing systems and integrations with banks and payment providers.

I usually take care of the database, deployment and servers for the systems I build, and I’m used to improving legacy PHP code that has to keep running in production. At Nuvola Host I also mentor two junior developers.

I have Brazilian and Italian citizenship, so I can work in the EU. I’m open to remote roles worldwide, as an employee or a contractor, and I also take on freelance projects.
