Here you will find past projects, current works and also some texts about random things I am interested in.

Other Projects
GADemo

GADemo is an open educational platform designed to provide an intuitive and interactive environment for learning and experimenting with Genetic Algorithms (GAs). Created with accessibility and clarity in mind, the platform allows users to explore GA concepts through visual simulations and guided parameter manipulation — no prior coding experience required.

InsurUP

InsurUP is a specialized search platform that automates critical data discovery for reinsurance underwriters. Built in 2020 using Scrapy + AI (BERT, spaCy, scikit-learn), it performs simultaneous mining of Latin American financial information sources. With intelligent filtering by time and location, it replaced manual searches with assertive analyses, transforming financial risk assessment in the reinsurance sector.

MUSTEM

MUSTEM (Multisensorial Emotional Translation) is a dual-modality assistive system that translates music into vibrotactile and visual experiences for the deaf community. Through real-time audio analysis, it maps frequency bands to a four-channel vibrotactile system and an educational visual dashboard, offering a holistic sensory experience grounded in psychoacoustic principles. Presented at EHB 2025 with Honorable Mention, currently in process for Springer Nature proceedings.


More Details
Raise Bot

Vision-Action Mapping system integrating OAK-D stereo camera with Pincher 4-DoF manipulator to translate 2D pixel selection into precise 3D robotic positioning. Implemented complete pipeline using coordinate transformations and inverse kinematics. This project sparked particular interest as it originated from envisioning an acoustic inspection system, with future expansion planned for piezoelectric sensor integration to analyze surface acoustic signatures for non-destructive testing.

Video Demo
FinControl

FinControl is a financial control tool developed for company clients that earned recognition as the most innovative project in the "Estagiário que Ativa" program, securing 2nd place and Outstanding Intern award. The application eliminates the need for external financial tools by providing integrated asset management directly within the company ecosystem. Built with data collection and ML capabilities, it generates personalized insights and tips while enabling consensual data mining for AI-driven product development.

Final Presentation
Lore PUC

LorePUC is a university social network app that won 3rd place at Hackeng 2018 during PUC-Rio's Engineering Week. The platform promotes continuous kindness among students through a credit-based system where helping others (tutoring, sharing information) earns points redeemable for academic event tickets and prizes. Features include peer evaluation system, real-time campus updates (library capacity, etc.), and forum-style information sharing, creating an internal social ecosystem that enhances student interaction and academic collaboration.
