About me

🇧🇷 Brazilian 🐧 Linux User 🎸 Guitarist 💻 FOSS Enthusiast

Hi, my name is Patrick. I'm a software developer with a background in technology and a strong interest in system architecture, backend development, and interface design. Academically, I'm focused on building solid foundations in computer science concepts while continuously improving my practical skills through personal and experimental projects. I'm especially interested in how design decisions influence user behavior and how technical structure supports expressive, meaningful interfaces.

Beyond code, I'm fascinated by the cultural and historical evolution of computing — from early operating systems to the aesthetics of the old web. I enjoy studying legacy interfaces, understanding why they worked, and reinterpreting them through a modern technical lens. For me, technology is both an engineering discipline and a creative medium, which is why I'm constantly experimenting with ways to connect structure, usability, and visual identity. That curiosity is strongly influenced by *Serial Experiments Lain* — especially its playful yet unsettling exploration of identity, networks, and the thin, flickering line between the digital and the real. The idea that the “wired” world can reshape who we are offline is both fascinating and slightly eerie — and I love bringing a bit of that atmosphere into what I build.

About this site

This site was created with a simple purpose: to have fun, experiment freely, and design interfaces with a strong visual identity. It blends inspiration from Windows 95, XP, and 7 with classic Linux desktop environments like GNOME and KDE, forming a fictional desktop that serves as a personal creative playground. Each application functions as an independent module, allowing me to explore different ideas while maintaining a cohesive retro operating system aesthetic and intentionally experimental behavior.

The project aims to merge the analog and the digital — combining old window borders, phosphor glow, scanlines, and the atmosphere of a tube monitor with modern usability. Rather than being a polished or professional product, it is a creative lab where nostalgia meets experimentation, and where interface design becomes a form of expression.
