About

I'm a full-time electronics technician and programmer with experience in a wide array of areas, ranging from (literal) bits to electrical bits. I've also worked as a translator and writer in the past. You can check out some of my (personal and professional) projects on my GitHub account.

Projects

LCD Char. Generator Slightly more comprehensive LCD character generator

Hardware Price API API for fetching hardware prices from major Brazilian stores

N5110 Display Lib Library for using the Nokia 5110/3310's display on the Beaglebone

Why does your website look like that?

This website was heavily inspired by htop and ncurses, which both implement the concept of a terminal user interface, a technique that allows programs to display rudimentary graphical interfaces without requiring complex window rendering mechanisms.

TUIs were widespread before the advent of Windows 3.1, from Lotus 1-2-3 to Turbo Pascal. In a way, this is a homage to the resource constrained computers of old, which required a much more careful (and creative) approach to programming and paved the way for our current home computing landscape.

In short, it looks cool.
