What I'm looking for

Good experience and challenges

Hi, I’m Filipe Vilas-Boas, a full-stack developer who’s passionate about turning ideas into impactful web experiences. I thrive on exploring new technologies, solving complex problems, and building applications that are not only functional but also intuitive and user-friendly.

I love working across the full stack—crafting seamless frontends, building robust backends, and integrating everything into scalable, maintainable solutions. From Drupal-powered websites to modern JavaScript applications, I enjoy creating tools and platforms that empower people and businesses alike.

Innovation drives me. I’m constantly experimenting, learning, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the web. My work reflects a balance of creativity and technical precision, and I take pride in building solutions that make the web more open, accessible, and engaging.

Whether it’s collaborating with teams, mentoring others, or tackling challenging projects, I bring energy, curiosity, and dedication to every endeavor. I’m always open to exciting opportunities where I can learn, grow, and create meaningful impact.
