I'm Fernando Andrade

About me

I'm a Portuguese, Software Developer Working at AFS Group, a European financial service provider specialised as a multi-channel intermediary in the Wholesale Financial, and Renewable Energy Sector.

I arrived in the Netherlands back in 2015. With me I brought energy, perseverance, some self taught PHP knowledge and a passion for delivering high quality work.

I work as a full stack with a greater focus on the backend. I spend a lot of time building new, and maintaining old, features in Symfony with API Platform.

I like to tinker and experiment therefore you can find me always on the look for some new piece of tech to play with after work.
