📌 About me

Hello, I'm a software developer based in Portugal 🇵🇹.
I started out in middle school coding as a hobby in the Unity game engine.

I've since been learning and developing various kinds of software. Being most comfortable with building frontend apps (using HTML, CSS and Javascript with Vue or React); backend servers in Laravel/PHP or Python and recently functional programming with Haskell.

I'm passionate about functional programming, having discovered the concept in 2019 and learning how to use it through Haskell since.

I am a Linux user and currently run my laptop with the NixOS distro.

You can find my projects through my Github profile

vCard

source code

Laravel (PHP) + Websockets (Node.js) + Vue (Javascript)

Full stack Single Page App for virtual banking cards

This website allows users to create virtual banking accounts for sending money to others. The money was simulated.

Main features:

Creating virtual cards (vCards) associated to phone numbers;
Transfer "money" (simulated) between vCards or to other payment services (simulated);
Create categories and assign transactions to categories;
Access statistics like balance and number of transactions throughout time;

Also contains management tools for administrator accounts like account blocking, adding money to a card and managing payment services.

The websocket server gives the app realtime updates for things like updating balance upon receiving a transaction, while the backend server acts like an API and implements authentication through OAuth. All interface logic is handled by Vue.

Regul-A Platform 2.0

Laravel (PHP) website + Android App (Kotlin) + Firebase

Mobile app to help caretakers of children with ASD and website for health professionals.

This was my final project in university. I developed a new version of the existing platform, focusing on making it ready for a product launch.

Some of the issues I tackled:

Converted the mobile app from Java to Kotlin
Added monitoring capabilities with Google Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics;
Created end-to-end tests in both interfaces and unit tests for security rules;
Deployed the web server using NixOS and created a CI/CD pipeline;

Unfortunately, I cannot share the source code.

Engineer Layout

source code

Haskell package

Layout for the XMonad Window Manager

I built a customizable layout for the XMonad Window Manager. It allows you to set pre-defined layouts for when a specific group of windows is present on the workspace. Window categories and how to categorise them is left up to you to define.
