About

Hi there!

My name is Filipe, I'm and I have over a decade of experience with Python and its web frameworks.

Python was my very first professional language. Of course I've programmed in other ones before it - when I was 15-ish I was having a ball with Delphi and Turbo Pascal - good riddance!

I started programming for real during university, when I was 19 - doing some freelances. In the meantime I got a taste for agile methodologies - becoming team technical leader and shortly after a Scrum Master itself.

Currently I'm working as a senior software engineer, mostly via Toptal, and using a vast range of technologies - from API development to Data Science and Machine Learning.

Ah! BTW I'm really excited to have some opportunity to work with the following technologies:

  • TensorFlow
  • Blockchain
  • React.JS
I have some academic knowledge about all of them but (unfortunately) I still had no opportunity to effectively work with them.
