Overview

This is the site you're on. It's my portfolio, and the third version of it. I think of it as a playground more than a résumé.

It has three sides, and you switch between them in the header. The Front is the pages. The Back is a terminal over the same content, where you ls, cd and cat your way through. The IA is a chat that answers about me and the site.

Everything exists in English and in Portuguese, at /pt.

What's in it

• A home that is a door to each page
• /person, with photos, a playlist, my Apple Watch rings, the weather in Pernambuco, stickers and a shelf of what I've finished
• /professional, with my career, my stack, the apps I work in and my GitHub contributions
• Notes and projects, in MDX, each one with its Portuguese twin
• A wall of love, with letters from people I worked with, by invitation
• A contact page that is a postcard, and sends an email
• A memory game in the footer, where the pairs are the pages, and a board for the fastest rounds
• Abimaela, my cat, in the corner, reacting to what you do

Decisions

• entrepta is copied in, not installed. The site has no runtime dependency on it. A change in entrepta only arrives here when I bring it in on purpose.
• The chat has a model behind it, and the model is the last guard, not the only one. A question is screened before it reaches it, and the answer is screened too, so it isn't streamed. The limits live in Postgres. Without the key, the chat answers from a script. The cap that holds even if my code is wrong is the credit limit on the key itself.
• Pages that read Postgres aren't cached, on purpose. An entry I published ten minutes ago should be there, and a ring shouldn't be frozen at this morning's numbers. It costs a couple of indexed queries.
• /admin is behind WorkOS AuthKit and an email allowlist. Anyone else gets a 404, never a 403, because a 403 confirms the page exists.
• On the memory board, the server keeps the time, not the browser. A name only shows up after I approve it.

Stack

• Next.js (App Router), TypeScript and Tailwind
• entrepta, my design system
• MDX with Velite, in two languages with next-intl
• Postgres on Supabase, with Drizzle
• Hono for the API
• WorkOS AuthKit for the admin
• Resend for email
• OpenRouter for the chat
