Projects I build end to end.

Deliberately wider than any one job: assistive technology, applied AI, community and business systems, and tools I build for my own growth. Here I hold every decision — research, scope, interface, copy, and the App Store submission — instead of only the roadmap. It's how I stay a builder, and it makes me a sharper product manager on Monday.

01 — Accessibility

Apps for people the default interface forgets.

Three products built around speech, listening, and confidence rather than sight and precision.

01 blint YouTube subscriptions narrated and hands-free — VoiceOver-first playback with spoken video details and hardware media controls. iOS · Pre-launch 02 Caminhos Route guidance that respects pace and reduces overload, with a tone built to grow confidence. Concept · Current 03 BlindMessaging Voice-first messaging built around listening, speech, and low-friction review. Concept · Current

02 — Community

Concepts about people, not features.

Two systems I keep coming back to, both about making collective effort feel possible instead of exhausting — as much a business design problem as a product one.

Community product · In progress

juntos

A support system centred on belonging, care, and practical mutual help — connection, opportunity, and support treated as infrastructure rather than as a feed.

Belonging · Mutual aid Concepting

Participation system · In progress

partixu

Making participation feel intuitive, shared, and energising: tools for contribution, coordination, and collective action that don't depend on one exhausted organiser.

Contribution · Coordination Concepting

03 — Why

Building for a screen reader changes what you consider finished.

When the interface is audio, you cannot hide a weak information hierarchy behind a nice layout. Every label, every order of operations, every piece of state has to be genuinely correct — because it is being read aloud, one item at a time, to someone who cannot skim ahead.

That discipline follows me into everything I spec at work — and it is the main reason I keep shipping these, even when the day job is already full.
