👋 Hi!
I'm a full-stack developer building tools that make complex information legible, trustworthy and auditable.
TypeScript / React / Next.js on the front, PHP / Laravel and Python on the back. Currently building digital-government tools at ÍRIS, the Government of Ceará's innovation and data lab.
📫 How to reach me:
- 🌐 Portfolio: marianacastro.dev
- 💼 Mariana's LinkedIn Profile
- Pronouns: she/her
- Lucid: a deterministic plain-language auditor (ISO 24495-1). An LLM proposes a rewrite; a deterministic engine verifies it. The fence between the two is enforced by the build.
- Horizonte: a music player where the record has mass and mass bends space. A hand-written gravitational-lens shader and an in-browser FFT, held to the same numbers as an offline Python pipeline.
- Access Check: a visual accessibility inspector that audits any URL against WCAG 2.1 AA, ties every finding to the element that caused it, and verifies each fix against the live DOM.
- Gauntlet: a tournament engine where standings are a derived read-model, recomputed on every result and streamed over SSE, on a TypeScript/PHP core checked against shared conformance vectors.
