I’m Filipe Mota, also known as BlackSpirits — a programmer, open-source contributor, and translator/reviewer focused on European Portuguese (pt-PT).
My work sits at the intersection of automation, localization, media tooling, and clean web experiences. I enjoy building practical tools, improving workflows, refining interfaces, and contributing to projects that help real users.
I develop and maintain Pipocas.tv, a Portuguese subtitles community, and contribute to metadata and moderation work at TheTVDB.
The live site brings together selected projects, focus areas, and useful links across my work.
- Automation — tools, scripts, and workflow improvements that save time and remove repetitive work
- Localization — translation and review for pt-PT with attention to clarity, consistency, and natural language
- Media Tooling — utilities and experiments related to metadata, subtitles, cataloging, and streaming workflows
- Open Source — practical contributions, fixes, improvements, and community-driven collaboration
A Portuguese subtitles community focused on contribution, discovery, and accessibility.
Custom tools and browser-side improvements built to streamline repetitive tasks, improve UX, and extend existing platforms.
Translation and review work for software and community-driven projects, with a strong focus on European Portuguese quality, consistency, and usability.

Built with a back-to-basics mindset — no frameworks, no build step, just clean and fast static code.
- Clean static architecture — lightweight, simple, and easy to maintain
- Responsive layout — designed to work smoothly across screen sizes
- Accessibility-minded — skip-link, focus states, keyboard awareness, and reduced-motion support
- Dual language support — pt-PT and English
- Minimal dependencies — fast to load, easy to understand, and easy to evolve
- Project-first structure — focused on identity, clarity, and discoverability
This site was built to stay simple on purpose.
No unnecessary complexity.
No heavy tooling for a small personal site.
Just a fast, maintainable, and accessible portfolio that reflects how I like to build: with clear structure, practical decisions, and room to evolve.
This is a static site. To run it locally, clone the repository and open index.html in your browser, or serve it with a lightweight local server.
