Summary
Francisco Vieira is a seasoned CEO/CTO and front-end specialist with 14 years of experience building web products, leading teams, and running a Lisbon-based web design and development agency, Digital Spiders. He began programming in 2006, has navigated both large corporate roles and startup failure and rebirth, and brings practical lessons from launching and operating his own companies. Equally comfortable in code and client rooms, he pairs hands-on frontend development (React/JS) and occasional backend work (Python, Django) with day-to-day business operations, marketing, and team leadership. His background in information security and previous roles at Portugal Telecom give him a pragmatic focus on reliable, maintainable systems. Notably, his first startup taught him product-market fit the hard way, which now informs a user-centered approach to building creative marketing websites.
