What I built

Backend

I designed and built the Laravel API (PostgreSQL, Redis) for events, tickets, payments, invitations and friend connections. I also handled authentication and deployment.

  • Laravel
  • PHP 8
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
Mobile app

I built the React Native app for iOS and Android, with push notifications and deep links that open a specific screen (an event page, for example) from a shared link.

  • React Native
  • Push notifications
  • Deep links
Website

I also made the app’s marketing website, envolta.com.br.

Release

I submitted the app to the App Store and Google Play and followed the review process until it was published.

The product

Public or private

Public events show up in search. Private ones are only visible to invited guests or people with the link.

Participation control

Organizers decide who can see an event, RSVP to it or share it.

Tickets and payments

Paid events have a checkout with Pix (Brazil’s instant payment system), and entry is by QR code. For free events, RSVPs are confirmed right away.

Guest management

Organizers track RSVPs and the invitations they’ve sent.

Social features

Users see which events their friends are going to and can invite them.

Discovery

Events appear in the Featured, Trending and Upcoming sections of the Explore screen and on a map.

Contact

I’m open to remote full stack roles (full-time or contract) and to freelance projects. I’m based in Garibaldi, Brazil (UTC−3). I’m a Brazilian and Italian citizen, so I can work in the EU without visa sponsorship. Email is the best way to reach me.
