About Me
Hi, my name’s Filipe and I’m from Portugal.
Strong believer in the whole react-native ecosystem!
Passionate about new and cutting-edge technologies, and security.
I am most skilled in: React Native, TypeScript and Mobile DevOps
When I’m not coding I’m debating serious topics with my cat.
I speak native Portuguese, fluent English and baguette French.
Experience
Expend aim is to provide 1 touch expense management software. Offering mastercard debit cards, and *Card Connect* to bring real time transactions, for extremely easy expense management.
Leading the mobile app development at Expend, I spearheaded the introduction of new user-centric features and integrated several third-party SDKs to enhance app functionality.
Besides new shiny things, my responsibilities include support existing features, a fancy way to describe bug fixing, small changes here and and ocasional edge cases where a user orders -9 beers from a bar :)
Increase confidence in the platform improving the codebase, along with confidence in the tests, having also introduced e2e testing, TypeScript, and better error monitoring and reporting and analytics tools.
Major refactors include giving it a new look, and major overhaul to core and most accessed functionalities, migration of the mobile codebase to a shared Monorepo, allowing for massive code sharing.
Creating and maintaining existing native modules in Java, Swift and Objective-C, with some dabble in Kotlin.
Ensure security and privacy standards, along top notch user experience and reliability as expected from any financial service.
Collaborate on backend event driven architecture, using AWS lambdas in NodeJS.
Collaborate with CI/CD of other services, lambdas, nextJS webapp, even, for example, experimenting with provisioning lambda@edge deployed nextJs application with open-next and Pulumi.
Collaborate on feature discovery and solution architecture for new functionalities across domains, backend, web and mobile.
Collaborate across domains as per team needs, in particular with react based web app.

Rotageek helps organisations predict and meet demand, using complex data-driven technologies to effectively and fairly schedule staff.
Took ownership of the ‘jewel’ in the scheduling solution : the mobile app.
Working as the sole mobile devoloper, leading and strategizing with product and API team all mobile work, and it’s tech stack and technical decisions.
Always improving the functionality of it, adding new features, improving the user experience and generally, adding features on mobile first, before they are rolled to the rest of the solution.
I’ve taken responsibility for the architecture, build and maintenance of it. With a primary focus on the mobile app but, since I’m passionate about how tech can solve problems I was welcomed to work on web app and API development too (C#).
