A platform where people can order a T-shirt with a QR code that links to a hosting space with their own content: A single image, text, a collaborative photo gallery, and more.
Built this as a prototype on Nextjs + a few AWS services. You can see how it works - and actually order one - here.
I'm building custom arcade cabinets with games I develop. The first cabinet is for the arcade version of Hair Force One, a mobile game I developed for mobile and "ported" to run on Linux.
This is an ongoing venture that I love because it involves building physical stuff. The main idea is to develop custom games for brands and deliver them on arcade cabinets to be used as an "experiencial marketing" stunt. The official web explains it a bit more in detail (And the design and art I made for the page is pretty cool too).
A top-view airplane shooter video game. I made a mobile version and an "arcade" version. It features a global leaderboard and an "invitation only crypto tournament" mode where players compete for actual cryto. The crypto payment is implemented using Hel.io.
The idea was to partner with influencers who would invite their followers to join the tournament. It never really took off.
The game is free, give it a try if you want. Links to the iOS and Android app stores in the game page: Hair Force One.
A rich story driven & text based game you play via WhatsApp chat, designed to be played asynchronously with a group of friends.
It's so cool and it has been so fun to build and play. It's a heavy AI loaded project, leveraging the excellent models we have access to these days.

A beautiful and simple app to track pets, friends, and everyone and anyone's birthday and age milestones in a fun, simple, and visually stunning way.
Used React Native + Expo for development.

The world's longest running AI driven podcast (as far as I know), The BS Podcast is a daily, weird micro podcast automatically generated, edited and published to Spotify and a few other platforms.
The topics are handpicked because that's the fun part for me. The dialogues are crafted by AI, and so it is the awesome jingle of the podcast.

A mobile app for iOS and Android where a cute little cat lives and chats with you. It also generates cat selfies and reads your tarot. One of the most fun projects I've worked on.
React Native + Expo. All art generated with AI. For text generation I use OpenAI APIs.

Managing your personal financials should be as fun as eating pizza with your friends. But thanks to spreadsheets, it is often all the opposite. Fizza is a webapp where you can visualize how you are spending your money. It presents income and spending on beautiful graphics using categories that you define. All you need to do is teach the system what belongs where and then upload a bank statement a few times per year.
Fizza was born as a personal projects and out of frustration with existing apps. It's still work on progress and the goal is to build a system that can do a bit more than just visualizing your finances: It will predict your future finance flow and (hopefully) help educate people on how to better admin their money.
Fizza.io is being built on a mix of Django Framework for the backend and React for the UI. It uses pandas to analyze and manipulate the data. It's still in development and not available to the public yet.
A visualization tool for chemical networks.
It parses files with a list of reactions happening between molecules and generates interactive network graphs to visually explore what's happening between those molecules. It also allows users to share their work with their peers.
The main challenge was the representation of the molecules, reactions and UI to manipulate the data.
Used the powerful D3 library to bring that data to life.
An online store to receive and manage subscriptions to a monthly surprise box sent by post and customized to the customer. Aimed exclusively to the Japanese market, the website is all in Japanese and has a kawaii and playful look. Special attention was paid to the UX to create a smooth check-out experience.
This is a system designed to do much more than just registering subscriptions and process payments: It automates the entire process. It creates labels for the post, sends notifications, manages reviews, counts stock and selects items for each box based on previous reviews.
A web application to structure the process of collecting, analyzing and responding to the feedback of employees and improve their EX (employee experience).
A full enterprise software where I was deeply involved in everything from concept to implementation, this has been my biggest project up to now. Security, dev-ops, UI and UX and even graphic design, the project took about 1 year to be completed.
