Full-stack developer in São Paulo, Brazil. I build and run CiteMe, an academic citation generator and reference checker, on my own: product, code, infrastructure and billing.
Most of my commits go to CiteMe's private repository. The parts I could extract are open source and listed below.
A live product used by students and researchers to find a source, format it and check that the references in a paper exist.
- Search across eight scholarly databases (OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, PubMed, Europe PMC, arXiv, HAL, BASE, BDTD), with circuit breakers and schema validation at every external boundary
- Formatting in 60 curated CSL styles, plus the 10,000+ styles of the CSL repository
- Surfaces: web app, browser extension, Obsidian plugin, public REST API and MCP endpoint
- Five locales: English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German
Stack: TypeScript, Next.js (App Router), React, Tailwind, Supabase (Postgres with row-level security), Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects, Rust compiled to WebAssembly, Paddle for billing, Vitest and Playwright for tests.
| Project | What it does | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| abnt-citation | Formats citations to the Brazilian ABNT standards (NBR 10520:2023, NBR 6023:2025). Published on npm and listed in GitHub's Made in Brazil collection. | TypeScript |
| citeme-engine | Reads BibTeX, RIS, MEDLINE and CSL-JSON, writes BibTeX, BibLaTeX and RIS, and renders any CSL style. Runs in the browser as a Wasm module. Built on Hayagriva. | Rust, WebAssembly |

I'm open to full-stack roles.
