Filipe Tomás | Senior Backend Developer @ Sky

About

Curious Software Engineer passionate about building simple solutions to complex problems. I enjoy learning new technologies, improving processes, and writing clean code that makes a real impact. As a father of two, I’ve learned to balance professional ambition with a busy family life. In my spare time, I like automating my home through small IoT projects and exploring hardware. When I switch off from tech mode, you’ll usually find me enjoying some casual gaming, watching TV shows or movies, or going for a good walk.
