Building Memory Gems — an app to save moments before they fade 💎

Software engineer since 1984. 41 years of .NET, now exploring AI-assisted development. I have ADHD, strong opinions about clean code, and a belief that the best software comes from understanding people, not just technology.

What I'm Building

💎 Memory Gems

Capture tiny moments before they fade.

In Development · Phase 3

The laugh at breakfast. The sunset you swore you'd remember. The feeling you want to keep.

Save a moment in seconds — a sentence and a mood, done
The app resurfaces old gems randomly — like memory actually working
No journaling commitment, no streaks, no guilt
Built for ADHD brains that forget the good stuff
AI-designed concept, human-engineered code

Born in Rio de Janeiro. Started coding at 14, debugging BASIC on paper before I could run it. Won 7 programming competitions in a row as a teenager. Four decades of enterprise software later, I'm a senior engineer at Ross Video in Ottawa, Canada.

Diagnosed with ADHD as an adult — which explained a lot about the previous decades. Now I build with the chaos instead of against it.

Currently exploring what happens when a veteran engineer partners with AI — not to replace the craft, but to amplify it. Memory Gems is the first result.
