Summit Offstage
A connection app built for Web Summit 2026 attendees, live only during the event week.
The idea
Web Summit brings 70,000+ people from all over the world to Lisbon for a few days. Many come alone, have only a few minutes to introduce themselves, or notice someone interesting and never get the chance to talk. I had the idea to create an app that turns those missed moments into real connections, and built it in a few days, right before the event.
What it does
👋 People: attendees create a badge-style profile with their interests (networking, friendship, a co-founder or a date) and the dates they’re in Lisbon, then connect with people who share them
🍽️ Plans: anyone can create a group plan (dinner, drinks, exploring the city), and the creator approves who joins. Each plan gets its own group chat
📍 City events: attendees share events happening around Lisbon, mark if they’re going (publicly or privately) and see who else will be there
💬 Chat: private chat opens only when both people want to connect
Built for one week only
The app was designed around the event dates. Profiles show who’s in town and when, plans happen before, during and after the Summit, and all accounts and data are deleted once the event ends.
Privacy first
Sign in with LinkedIn, nothing is ever posted to your profile, email is never shown, block and report everywhere, and row-level security on all data.
Stack
React, Supabase (Auth with LinkedIn OIDC, Postgres, Realtime, Storage), Railway, built with Lovable and Claude Code.

ALEVAV, a mobile app for guided self-investigation.
Instead of giving ready-made advice, it walks you through 7 levels of inquiry to uncover the patterns behind your decisions, relationships, and habits turning sessions into testable hypotheses, discoveries, and periodic Letters to yourself.
Designed and built end-to-end by me: • Mobile: React Native, Expo, TypeScript (iOS / TestFlight) • Backend: Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, OpenAPI + Zod • AI Architecture: 9-agent orchestration pipeline (Anthropic Claude Sonnet & Haiku) with real-time SSE token streaming & cognitive safety guardrails • Auth & Infra: Clerk, EAS Build, Railway

About the project
Club ND is a social support network for neurodivergent people, and one of my first projects. It was born from a need and a dream: I'm neurodivergent and dyslexic, and I wanted a place to connect people and their stories. It was never meant to make money.
Most social platforms are built for a default reader: dense text, crowded screens, constant movement. Club ND was designed from the start for dyslexic and neurodivergent people:
Colours and typefaces chosen for dyslexic readers.
A short, predictable navigation of four places: Home, Feed, Audio, Profile.
Live audio rooms, so people can talk instead of reading and writing.
A feed for posts and replies.
Profiles where each person can share their neurodivergences, if they want to.
English and Portuguese.
Built with
[add: framework, database, audio technology]. Hosted on Railway.
My role
I built Club ND on my own: product, accessibility-first interface design and full-stack engineering, including the live audio rooms. As a dyslexic designer, I tested every choice against my own reading experience.
Results
Live demo with fictional data, open to explore.
