Bringin' Up Baby
Bringin' Up Baby is an iOS app that allows people to register their beloved children's memories.
Among its features are creating memories, uploading pictures, importing posts from Facebook as memories, and sending memories to Kite so they can be printed (as pictures, mugs, photo albums, and many more options).
The app was built in Swift using the VIPER architecture, uses a Firebase back-end, and integrates with Facebook, Twitter, and Kite.

Km de Vantagens
Km de Vantagens is an app for one of the major Brazilian gas distributor's rewards program.
The main feature of the app allows users to trade points for products or services generating vouchers or using a credit card to pay for the selected items.
I was part of the team that maintained the app; after it was already developed. We were hired to fix a few bugs and develop new features.
