Civil engineering undergrad from Brazil 🇧🇷. I code as a hobby — I build things I personally want or need, and put them out there in case they're useful to someone else too. My interests shift a lot, so don't expect a theme.
That said, a good chunk of my public work has been around Japanese 🇯🇵 learning, since that's where my curiosity has been sitting for a while.
Current goal · Aibou (相棒)
Aibou is a cross-platform desktop app for learning Japanese vocabulary through immersion. The idea is simple: watch native media, interact with the subtitles, and let the app handle the vocabulary retention side of things through a built-in spaced repetition system. The roadmap for Aibou extends beyond watching media. Planned features include text-based immersion (reading), typing drills (WPM tests) and competitive social elements (leaderboards/ranking system). Those aspects aim to to maximize engagement, giving users compelling reasons to return daily and preventing the drop-off rates common in self-paced learning apps.
It's a passion project born out of my own frustrations with existing tools. Getting it to a genuinely usable state is my main focus right now — early versions are being released frequently and things are moving.
