HomeConnect (2015)
After my GarageDoor project I started considering building several devices that would be interconnected through a central device, and would control doors or lights.
PeerJuice Jobs (2015)
While working at Lasso, I realized that LinkedIn wasn’t so useful as it could be for job seekers. Something I didn’t like with LinkedIn was, most of recommendations were useless, just giving unrealistic expectations of candidates, thanks to their previous employer/coworkers/friends who would post excessively positive reviews of them.
MC Roads (2016)
I got my motorcycle license in 2016, and bought my first motorcycle. I started making nice rides around BC with friends, and saw some sites that were suggesting nice rides. Unfortunately, the sites were usually build with a complex UI, not really intuitive or convenient, so I decided to build my own site, and called it MC Roads (“Motorcycle Roads”) and bought the domain name to go with it.

- allow travelers to find accommodations, similarly to AirBnB or CouchSurfing

So, starting working on my “P-xo” project, I realized I needed a way to show locations, starting with cities, states and countries. After a quick look around, and not wanting to aim directly at Google APIs at this time, I couldn’t find any obvious and decent package for Laravel that would help me offer the proper address selectors to users and so, I decided to try and build my own package.

Geocities Website (1997-1999)
In 1997, I had already gotten familiarized a lot with the Internet, after 3 years working at CEGEDIM with dial-up modem connections, and currently working at SITA/Equant, a giant worldwide telecom provider present in more than 220 countries at the time, so strong of my experience with HTML/CSS, I started building my own website on GeoCities.

Founder and Main Developer (2010-2012)
I started working on my second venture, MusXpand (pronounced [mewzik’spend]), in 2010 right before leaving Brazil. The idea was to develop a business that would help indie artists, initially musicians, to distribute their art to their fan, through subscriptions. The premise was quite disruptive: why only get a few cents from music distributors, if you can make most of the money directly from your actual fans and provide them a better and closer service?

HomeConnect (2015)
After my GarageDoor project I started considering building several devices that would be interconnected through a central device, and would control doors or lights.
PeerJuice Jobs (2015)
While working at Lasso, I realized that LinkedIn wasn’t so useful as it could be for job seekers. Something I didn’t like with LinkedIn was, most of recommendations were useless, just giving unrealistic expectations of candidates, thanks to their previous employer/coworkers/friends who would post excessively positive reviews of them.

Since 2017, I’ve worked full-time as a frelancer, as the only firmware engineer for Waterloo Technical Inc, a small business in Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario. I’ve collaborated with remote electrical engineers and used my own skills in electrical engineering to define the schematics of a dozen products, then developed the complete firmware for these devices either from scratch or taking advantage of existing libraries.

MacOS Vue (2024-)
While working on a side project for my first novel, I realized it would be nice to have a simulation of a Mac OS environment, as functional as possible, to present some documents and informations. After looking around a little bit, all I could find was either a real MacOS remote access, which was far too much for what I needed, and obviously the corresponding expense. So I decided to build my own emulation, using Vue.js, as another practice training on Vue.

Laravel-GeoDB (2023)
So, starting working on my “P-xo” project, I realized I needed a way to show locations, starting with cities, states and countries. After a quick look around, and not wanting to aim directly at Google APIs at this time, I couldn’t find any obvious and decent package for Laravel that would help me offer the proper address selectors to users and so, I decided to try and build my own package.

MC Roads (2016)
I got my motorcycle license in 2016, and bought my first motorcycle. I started making nice rides around BC with friends, and saw some sites that were suggesting nice rides. Unfortunately, the sites were usually build with a complex UI, not really intuitive or convenient, so I decided to build my own site, and called it MC Roads (“Motorcycle Roads”) and bought the domain name to go with it.

Sphyn was the evolution of MC Roads into the wider audience of travelers. The site was build to satisfy two goals:
- allow travelers to share their travel through maps and pictures
- allow travelers to find accommodations, similarly to AirBnB or CouchSurfing
