...oop! You found me. 😅

i'm Filippo, an entrepreneur & engineer from Italy living in Costa Rica.

i'm Filippo Fonseca, a 17-year-old entrepreneur, software & electrical eng, designer, & reading/language enthusiast with a focus on building scalable applications and infrastructure for a variety of needs. Essentially, I built sh*t that works :).

🧪 my work

these days, I'm involved in a myriad of different things - I'm having a blast building diush.xyz - an open-source mobile platform acting as a secure funnel for selling items to your friends and network. I was previously heavily invested in Zyndicate, a simplified all-in-one workflow system which I built and scaled to tens of thousands of users (30k+) and a team of 15+ spread out over five continents.

I've also worked at companies like Aviato and co-built an autonomous drone delivery service that won 2nd place worldwide in the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) 2021 out of nearly 50k participants.

I primarily work with TypeScript & React for mobile and web development. In the past, I have also delved into system architecture, infrastructure, and privacy engineering 🔒.

🦘 my workflow

in order to perform my work and simply to perform side projects as a hobby, I utilize a variety of different tools and technologies. The following is a list representing my toolset and arsenal as of the moment.

🦚 stats

if i'm not working, playing sports, reading, planespotting, or with my friends, you can usually find me developing on open-source projects on my GitHub. I love working with others and find the concept of community-builds absolutely fascinating. In total, my projects have garnered:

296 stars
22 forks

thank you! ❤️
