Projects
This are currently the online projects available to see. But there's a lot more hidding around.
Projects
TBOI Tracker
Been playing The Binding of Isaac lately, and it's been a super fun journey unlocking different stuff and tryharding some challenges, but checking into the steam achievements everytime I need, scrolling down a list with 600+ achievements, it's kinda weird. So I made myself a tracker that syncs steam progress with easy filtering and sorting to see what's going on, what to do, and optimize my runs properly.
HuntRoyale Tool
Hunt Royale is a mobile game made by Boombit. I played it for like 2 years non-stop, became a leader of one of the top clans in the world, and got involved into the discord community as a hobby. In the community, I took the role of Event Staff, where people would do different challenges, and update their 'match logs' into one discord channel for further check. I had to create a discord bot using nodejs that would receive that match log and decrypt, format, and compare results to create a leaderboard. At the start, we had around one thousand entries per event, and the bot was able to do the process in around 20s, creating spreadsheets with the public leaderboard so people could compare their results, and exporting a debug spreadsheet for the support team to handle edge cases where people wouldn't get their rewards. Everything went super smooth until I wanted to go further and started looking into the game network to identify common operations. Found a way to fetch in game data that I could use later on to create custom tools for our clan, mainly looking to identify cheaters, improve the progress of the 50 members of the clan, and compare our clan progress against other clans. After a couple months, I became a voluntary Support Staff in the community, taking care of people's issues and handling communication with the dev team of the game. I learnt a lot about the in game process, got access to special stuff, and kept making my magic. After a couple years, I already left the game, but I'm still part of the clan discord as an admin, creating tools that can help up to 150 people that plays regularly nowadays. I had to create a new discord bot exclusively for the clan members administration, making it easier to handle the LFG, self check of progress, and leader checks for suspicious profiles. The website later on got deprecated due to a backend engine upgrade on the game, that changed all the API structures and ways to handle data that was not worth to update. As today, the De-Synced clan bot is still working with that new backend, improving the QoL of 150 people.
Moviebox
With a partner at work we decided to team up and do some fun experiments about the way we enjoy movies in general, and how to plan movie dates with interesting options based on 2 or more people interest and already watched history. That's the starting point of Moviebox, using tmdb to provide information, we started crafting a beautiful and enganing experience trying to cover all the possible escenarios related to movies/animes/tv-shows/crews, all of em. After 3 months working in the free time, we kinda gave up with the idea since there was another app on the block with a similar design, bigger team, and same desire. But it was a fun experience to work elbow by elbow with someone as cool as Nico.
Chiptune Tracker
Got a mini MIDI keyboard (AKAI LPK25) for my birthday, since I was exploring the world of music composition using Ableton, and out of the sudden got the idea to create a Chiptune Tracker. A Chiptune Tracker is a type of music composition software designed specifically for creating chiptunes (or chip music), which is basically a style off electronic music that emulates the sound of early video game consoles and computers. It acts as a sequencer interface that allows composers to arrange and manipulate sound channels of retro chip using pattern-based or a grid-style input, relying on hexadecimal notation to control notes and parameters. At least on web, generating sounds without 'sound files' is kinda a challenge, since the process is not precisely confortable.
Tarkov Portrait
With a friend we've been playing for like a year together Escape From Tarkov, and there was a cool website that scrapped the data from in game, and generate some renders related to your characters. After some digging up, we found a way to abuse the query params and generate funny characters, and that's it, just fun. I did web version while my friend did a discord bot command, kinda a day of work.
Weather
I wanted to make a quick converter between Fahrenheir and Celsius for when I talk with my friends in the US, and it's always awkwards to ask for the weather in their city. It also matched the time when my ex-gf went to work in France, so having a quick access to her weather was pretty confortable.
Pucho Tracker
Puchos is a chilean madeup word for cigarretes, so basically when I was trying to stop smoking, the best solution for me was to migrate into Snus / Zyn bags, but the only way to really meassure it up, was having a tool cool enough to see my progress week by week.
