- website, version 4.3.18.2 (last updated: 20 may 2026) | see LICENSE
- this is my personal website, where i share a bit of me and what i do. This is also a "repo" of my projects and resources.
                    

Welcome to my little corner on the internet.

☆======= About Me =========☆

I consider myself a Multi-disciplinary Artist, not a creator or some sort.

I am intellectually restless and emotionally over-committed.

I’m driven by curiosity. I build apps, animate, do random videos, design apps/websites and do some digital art.

I have high standards for myself and my work, but I don't care about what others think of it. It will always fall back on me later, and i kinda like it.

☆======= Curiosities =========☆

• I'm Portuguese, live in Portugal.
• Big fan of abstract, unhinged and supa random phrases. The more unusual, the better.
• Crazy things are attractive to me.
• I don't use pronouns. Tell me that i am a male or a female, call me whatever, i don't care about it. I identify myself as a human and nothing more.
• My creative process starts by looking around me and ends in pure chaos and metal distress. But I still deliver.
• Linear approaches make me feel weak, confused and anxious. So.. i often do multiple projects at the same time, rotating between them whenever i feel to.
• I'm a mess in person, completely bipolar, btw.
• In a month... probably i will change some phrases or the whole color scheme of the website lol.
• I hate using big frameworks. I want TOTAL control over my project & tools!
• I love stories where the theme is mostly fantasy (superficial), action (deep lore), violence (with emotional impact), drama (with controversy and unusual themes), theatrical, interdimentional themes.
• My music style is.. very mixed: Indie rock, alternative rock, Rock & roll, metal, theatrical, glitchcore, hi-hop (before 2017), indie pop, breakcore (favorite).
• I have a very weird sense of humor, i like dark comedy, surreal comedy, anti-jokes, ironic and unintentional comedy.
• Aesthetics... I like things that are chaotic, colorful, with a lot of contrast without much detail.
• I don't have any sense of fashion. I dress how I like and feel more comfy in.
• Thinking hurts sometimes. So like... 90% of the time, my head is completely turned off and whatever I say doesn't have any filter.
• Can't stand love. Not made for it, i want it, but eventually i will become even more unstable emotionally.
• Im building "Ghostware" - projects that are spiritually finished but physically unmanifested.

☆======= Free time stuff =========☆

• Make playlists (over 600 tracks each) for specific things.
• Play games. (Minecraft, PEAK, SuperHOT, Friday Night Funkin' ...)
• Explore and support indie animation artists on social media.
• I code things. Wowies.
• Making my own ai models, or messing with existing ones.
• Drowning myself in music whenever I have the chance.
• I study these things randomly:
  • Advanced astronomy & space stuff
  • Philosophy & history & human mind
  • Algorithms & Web security
  • 2d+3d Animation (both at the same time)
  • Game dev lore. (I don't understand game dev at all)
  • Acting & Performance
  • History of random things. Like places and art.
  • Sociology & Anthropology
  • Conspiracy theories (the weirder, the better)
  • Random languages (currently: Russian, Italian)
  • Music design & production
• I make paper art: origami and small sculptures in paper.
• Create episodic stories about.. lot of stuff, fantasy and abstract realities mostly.

☆======= My own principles =========☆

• Don't apologize for being yourself. Don't apologise if not on ur control.
• Stay away from money kids.
• I make projects for myself. All of them. I publish because I want to share my skills and they might be useful/fun to someone.
• If you first ask "how u are going to profit from that" when I introduce a project, you are nothing to me anymore.
• Big hater of.. whatever the corporate/capitalist concept is. Money doesn't attract me.
• Once I promise, I keep it. No takebacks. Till I die.
• I want to create memories, not develop things because "yes" or whatever u have to offer me.
• I hate and I am against generative AI. Only acceptable use cases: learning and study. AI images are only for representation of a concept/idea and should not be used to replace anything. Humans need to be in the middle of the process. I use AI in coding as a tool to help debug and document my projects; it won't replace the process or any part of it.
• Don't panic or be afraid of the future, you only have the present to make a future.
• Stop caring isn't the same as giving up.
• Do it first, deal with the consequences later. But.. i don't do that if the decision isn't mine, or has other people in any part of the process.
• Self love is the most important kind of love.
• I’d rather have a broken tool that belongs to me than a perfect one that owns me.
• I can do stuff better with my soul than you can with your money.
• I am still learning how to be mature.. but i know that being mature is not about being serious, it's about being responsible for your actions and their consequences, and also being able to adapt to different situations and people without losing yourself.
