Software

Participating in the development of software is my day job, but since way before I was formally employed and to this day, I have also spent (too) much leisure time creating a lot of software and operating a handful of web services.

Much of the software I built is permissively licensed and, I believe, is sufficiently showcased in my GitHub and Tangled profiles. As for the rest, some of it is mentioned in posts on this website; others might only come up when you search for my name. Others even, were never mentioned online, despite reaching production status.

Videos

Sometimes I make synthetic videos (without AI). They are synthetic in the sense that they don’t typically contain much in terms of footage captured with real cameras; most source imagery was computer-generated to begin with, either by video games or 3D modelling software.

My intention is definitely not to become a youtuber, but YouTube is a convenient (and cheap) place where to dump videos, in a service people are already familiar with.

Music

Expand to read my music producer origin story

At least back in my day, it was mandatory for all Portuguese school children aged 10-11 to spend a couple years studying music, and more specifically, learning to play the recorder. I enjoyed some parts of that, but I could definitely go without some others - the need to put time into actually practicing with the recorder, the fact that the sounds it could produce were hardly inspiring to me… they were certainly a far cry from the produced music that I enjoyed listening to. Nevertheless, I appreciated it much, much more than the handicraft disciplines.
