I am just another tech enthusiast and gamer, who also happens to love linguistics, design, and culture in general. Jobwise, I am an aspiring iOS developer, especially excited about making apps and games that have a wow factor.

Scholarships

Thiago has been awarded a WWDC scholarship two times. Here are the submissions that got him there.

In 2021, applicants were tasked with building an interactive playground to showcase their creativity and technical abilities. Here’s how Thiago describes his winning submission.

The project I created is a simple browsing book, made more interactive, letting the user interact with it to discover which words may or may not have a common origin. It introduces the topic of a word's etymology in a ludic way. I used SwiftUI and NaturalLanguage frameworks to make it come to life.
