Hi!
My name is Marcelo and I'm a problem solver.
I also know some stuff about full stack web development and engineering.
Selected Projects
My first original complete project as a web developer, this is my ultimate weather app. Originally intended to be a training opportunity to improve my programming skills, it ended up extrapolating the initial goal and became a really useful application. I was able to create original art, animations and an unique way of displaying weather information. I also wrote articles with explanations of some of the challenges that I faced when building the main part of the app, in addition to something that, in my opinion, most weather apps neglect: the weather.
This project was made in collaboration with my dear friend Gerson, who could benefit from having a personal website to display his achievements in his academic and professional life, including his time on the EESC-USP Formula SAE team, that I was also fortunate to be a part of. This static website design concept was conceived under Gerson's requirements - it was based on his curriculum and personal portfolio, with the addition of images and videos related to his work. For me, it served as an opportunity to improve my frontend skills and further my understanding of web animations using GreenSock.
The Efinos project is a homebrew computer-aided tabletop RPG game created by me and Gerson Neves, originally intended to be played online with friends using Google Sheets - a solution we found in late 2020 to play such a game in the pandemic period, given our skills during that time and excitement about investing time in such an unorthodox idea. After months of development and a career change, the project was reengineered to be a full-stack web application, using Next.js and PostgreSQL for the database. This is my most audacious project so far and will give me plenty of fun/headaches for months to come.
