Projects
Newsly
Co-founded Newsly with a partner, the Brazilian Email Marketing Library, a platform to find references, analyze competitors, and create more effective campaigns. I own the frontend end to end: Next.js 14 app with React 18, shadcn/ui, TanStack Query, React Hook Form + Zod, Framer Motion, Zustand, and Tailwind. Monitored with Sentry.
trigo etc
A mobile-first ordering PWA built for trigo etc, an artisanal bakery in Florianópolis. Customers browse the menu, build a cart, and place an order that's handed off to WhatsApp to confirm, with no payment friction. Ships with a Google-gated admin panel to manage sections, products, and orders, plus a custom data-caching layer. Built for a local business, so the UI is Portuguese-only.
StayRank
Plan a trip with friends and agree on where to stay. Everyone ranks their top 3 accommodations per city with a note, and StayRank tallies the votes into a leaderboard so the group can see the option they agree on the most. Installable PWA with Google sign-in and link-preview images.
GitHub
Yieldly
A personal finance tracker focused on investment yields. Log balances across accounts, record deposits and withdrawals, and watch your daily yield and total balance trend over time with clean charts. Money is handled in integer minor units for precision, behind a roles-based authorization layer.
Wild.io
This was my final college project! It fosters public engagement with city parks, encouraging the documentation of urban flora and fauna.
