I'm Guilherme Saade, a backend engineer from Jaraguá do Sul, Brazil. I'm the CTO and co-founder of GovDigital, and I'm on the Filament core team, where I look after plugins.
I've been coding since I was 11. My mom was a teacher and wanted a website for her school, so I built one with Blogger. The love for PHP came later, from a book about it that my father had.
Most of what I publish here started as something we needed at work.
At GovDigital, we build the software that Brazilian municipalities use to offer public services online. It's a Laravel and Filament platform, and I still write a good part of it.
At Filament, I review the plugins submitted to filamentphp.com/plugins, help their authors, and contribute to the framework.
| Plugin | What it does | Installs |
|---|---|---|
| FullCalendar | Shows your models on a calendar, where you can view, create, edit, drag and resize them with Filament actions. | |
| Fluppy | An upload field built on Uppy, with chunked and resumable uploads, S3 multipart, and imports from the camera, a URL, your disks, Google Drive and Dropbox. | New |
| Adjacency List | A tree field for nested data, such as menus and categories, with drag and drop. | |
| Autograph | A field to collect signatures. | |
| Laravel Log | Lets you read Laravel logs from the panel. | |
| Facehash | Gives every panel user a generated avatar face. |
FullCalendar is the one most people know, and it has been installed more than a million times.
| Package | What it does | Installs |
|---|---|---|
| blade-iconsax | Iconsax icons as Blade components. | |
| facehash | Deterministic avatar faces from any string, ported from the JavaScript library to PHP. | |
| cep-php | Brazilian postal code lookup, with several providers so one being down doesn't matter. | |
| materialwind | The Material Design 3 color system for Tailwind CSS 4, with dynamic color. |
I also contributed to the gov.br provider for Laravel Socialite, which lets an application sign users in with their Brazilian government account.
I'm a developer, not a drummer. I bought an electronic drum kit, and I'm building Drummies, the application that's teaching me to play it. I stream the builds.

If I'm not there, I'm probably starting a new side project with Filament.
