Ogrobot
Live Stream Bot - 2023
aviana37Written in just under 200 lines in Python, Ogrobot was coded live with each new feature being implemented on viewer demand. Once it's running, the bot interacts with the stream and performs certain activities based on chat messages, such as playing audio, converting text to speech, and dynamically listing all available commands enabled by the host.
Although not the most complex or technically sophisticated, it is by far the most useful project in this portfolio. The features Ogrobot provides usually require paid tools or having an established audience on the platform, and therefore this FOSS tool is useful not only to myself and my circle online, but also to any casual streamer on Twitch.
Signal
Signals and Slots C++20 Library - 2020
aviana37Signal is a C++ header-only template library that implements emitters and receivers for callback handling. The initial goal of this project was to explore the new C++20 features (eg. concepts) and how they changed the language's template meta programming landscape. This project will be upgraded to C++23 in the near future, adding move semantics and implementing thread safety.

Immediate Mode GUI
Sports Data Analysis - 2020
Project Insight is a data analysis and visualization tool for analyzing the results of sports matches. The focus when implementing it was to work with immediate mode GUIs in C++, since writing quality code when applying this technique is very challenging.

Despite not implementing advanced state-of-the-art data processing algorithms, Insight was very profitable for its users. So much so, eventually betting houses would soft lock their accounts and prohibit high stake ventures.

Game Script Editor
2014-2015
GSE was a 2D game script editor written in C++ using Qt4 Framework. It featured entity management, scene creation, and tiling support. The icons and UI were designed by André Viana.

Creating scenes and customizing characters in a friend's high school project
As a Computer Engineering student, side gigs such as developing games were key to applying academic knowledge and acquiring experience on the field. At the time, we developed multi-platform games in OpenGL, and we needed a custom tool to implement scripts. Qt was the first modern C++ framework I've ever had contact with, and learning it was a godsend to my college training. As an inexperienced young man in his early 20s, this project kicked off my career in IT. Succeeding at this challenge was the first goal I needed to achieve to truly understand that technology is where I belong.
