Hi, I'm Tiago

Tiago Basilio - Full-Stack Developer & Systems Architect

I've spent 10+ years building web apps, e-commerce platforms, and APIs across Switzerland. I run Twisted Binary and work with teams on Laravel, Inertia (React/Vue), Tailwind, and Magento, from scoped features to full product delivery.

Much of that time has been spent connecting the pieces that make e-commerce work end-to-end: CRMs, payment providers, logistics platforms, data warehouses, and tracking pipelines. I've built and maintained storefronts, checkout flows, subscription systems, order dashboards, and the integrations behind them, always with performance, reliable data collection, and analytics in mind.

I'm available for contract and retainer work, remote from CET. English, French and Portuguese.
