Explore case

Context

Demos across different stacks that make Full-Stack work and quality practices available for review.

My contribution

React/Next.js, Angular and Vue applications; Node/Express and Flask backends; PostgreSQL and SQLite; unit/e2e tests and Docker.

Evidence & scope

Browser demos provide an interactive overview; the repository exposes Full-Stack source. This is a technical demonstration, not a commercial implementation.

PERSONAL PROJECT03 / 05

Agenda Inteligente

From an image to structured information.

Full-Stack application that processes images using OCR and language models.

  • React 19
  • Express
  • MongoDB
  • OpenAI
  • Gemini
  • Tesseract.js
Explore case

Context

A personal project exploring document processing and AI integration in a web application.

My contribution

React 19, Vite and TailwindCSS frontend; Express and MongoDB backend; OpenAI, Google Gemini and Tesseract.js integrations.

Evidence & scope

Live personal application. AI work here is presented separately from my commercial POS and robotics experience.

PROFESSIONAL PROJECT04 / 05

Autonomous Vending Robots

Bimbo · Ricolino & Barcel

Electronics, firmware and an embedded dashboard connecting a physical product with its operation.

  • C/C++
  • ROS
  • ESP32
  • PSoC
