Filipe Miranda

Software Engineer

Hi there! I’m Filipe and I currently live in Porto, Portugal. I recently graduated from the Masters in Informatics And Computing Engineering at FEUP. I also did Erasmus at the University of Leiden, in the Netherlands, focusing on machine learning courses.
I’m a mobile/web developer with experience in developing beautiful solutions. I am comfortable in developing mobile applications on a single platform or cross platforms and responsive websites.
Another area that I am interested in is machine learning and data mining. I like to understand how algorithms and models work and the reasoning behind them. I have also experience in scientific research, writing articles and looking at a problem with a critical thought.
I am used to work on new and agile environments and learn new and innovative technologies. If you have any questions or proposal, feel free to contact-me through my email address or LinkedIn.
