As a software engineer, I've always thought of AI as something that solves problems.
Lately, I've been asking a different question:
Can AI make people feel something?
This project started with an idea I couldn't let go of.
A few years ago, while traveling solo in 🇧🇷, I kept thinking how useful an intelligent travel companion could be.
Not another map. Not another travel app.
Something that understands context.
→ Where is the safest route? → What should I avoid right now? → Where's the closest clinic? → Who can I contact in an emergency? → How do I navigate an unfamiliar city with confidence?
Before thinking about the product, I wanted to explore the emotion behind it.
So instead of building an app, I built a film.
The interesting part wasn't the final video—it was designing the production pipeline.
For this project I experimented with a workflow combining:
AI image generation for character consistency
cinematic prompting
shot-by-shot scene planning
Higgsfield (Seedance 2.0) for animation
CapCut for editing and pacing
What excites me most isn't generating videos.
It's designing creative systems where software, AI models, and storytelling work together.
I think we're entering an era where engineers won't just build products.
We'll build experiences.
That's the space I'm exploring right now: AI workflows, generative media, creative tooling, and interactive storytelling.
If you're building at the intersection of AI, product, and creativity—or looking for someone who can prototype ambitious ideas with generative AI—I'd love to connect.
Always happy to discuss collaborations, freelance projects, or experimental ideas.
