Nathan's personal corner of the internet, fully compatible with everything, | |
filled with useless information, served to you in glorious plain text! | |
--- About me ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
I'm a full-stack developer, creative technologist, and an electronics engineer | |
born in rainy Brazil and currently living in sunny Portugal. You can find me | |
working on almost anything that involves electricity, both in terms of | |
hardware and software. Building things has always been a passion of mine, so | |
you'll notice that I'm always self-motivated to work on new projects that | |
involve technology. Some of the things that I've worked on have been used by | |
hundreds of thousands of people, maybe into the millions depending on who's | |
counting, and my work has definitely reached at least tens of millions. | |
I'm currently dedicating some of my time to passing some of my knowledge to | |
another generation and having a lot of fun working on creative projects with | |
my students and colleagues at IADE - Creative University, where I'm the course | |
coordinator of the bachelor's in Computer Engineering, but I'm also involved | |
with the bachelor's in Creative Technologies, Games Development, and the | |
master's in Creative Computing and Artificial Intelligence. | |
If you browse through my website, or my company's website, you'll notice that | |
I'm capable of building quite a lot of amazing things. If you're looking for | |
someone with my skillset either for your company or to make your idea become a | |
reality feel free to reach out to me. | |
Various ways to contact me | |
--- Old Computer Challenge --------------------------------------------------- | |
By far the best time of year for any retro computer enthusiast or anyone that's | |
fed up with the current state of technology is OCC week, when the community gets | |
together to spend the week immersed in old technology and having a blast! | |
Old Computer Challenge | |
OCC on the web | |
You can follow my adventures during these weeks here: | |
OCC 2025 (There's no challenge) | |
OCC 2024 (DIY) | |
--- Hanging out -------------------------------------------------------------- | |
I may be inviting weirdos into my life, but if you're ever around Lisbon, | |
contact me and we can probably arrange to hang out somewhere and awkwardly | |
talk about technology. | |
If you prefer to hang out with me, and other like-minded people that love | |
plain text and older technology without the awkwardness of being physically in | |
the same room, you can find me hanging out (mostly on weekends) at | |
#oldcomputerchallenge on Libera.Chat's IRC server | |
--- More from me on the web -------------------------------------------------- | |
Although I love the simplicity of Gopher, I do have a much larger presence on | |
the web, although differently from almost everyone I still make all my | |
websites available through plain HTTP and ensure that they are as compatible | |
with older browsers as possible. | |
