Diego M. Rodrigues

From the end of 2018 until now, I have been developing, in partnership with Terrakrya, several technology projects focused on the preservation and recovery of the environment and traditional peoples. During this same period, I continued with the free software projects, improving and creating new features.

Check out some of the projects I have actively participated in:

Cultivar Brasil: web and mobile application in Portuguese focused on Brazil that was developed with the aim of facilitating learning about the cultivation of food by itself.

Rede Agroflorestal: collaborative knowledge building platform on Agroforestry

Redário - Rede de sementes: management system for the collection, processing, storage, planting planning and sale of seeds for the recovery of degraded areas.

Biobá: platform conceived as a multi-sector strategy to create connections between agroecological and extractive production (sociobiodiversity), generated from family farmers and traditional communities and indigenous peoples with consumer markets, within a logic guided by basic principles of sustainability, agroecology, transparency, participation and social control and solidarity economy.

Caminhos da Semente: network of people and organizations aiming to scale up ecological restoration in Brazil with a focus on the direct seeding method.

Associação Floresta Protegida (AFP): Indigenous organization of the Mẽbêngôkre - Kayapó Indigenous People representing approximately 3,000 indigenous people from 31 villages located in the Kayapó, Mekragnoti and Las Casas Indigenous Lands, in the south of the state of Pará-Brazil. AFP was created in 1998 and works through the development and execution of strategic projects, in 4 action lines: Culture and Knowledge, Productive Activities and Income Generation, Environmental and Territorial Monitoring and Institutional and Political Strengthening.

Xingu+: network formed by the villages and communities that are part of the Xingu Corridor, cultural, linguistic and ecological heritage.

In 2018 I started to dedicate my time exclusively to open source projects and with the objective of creating solutions to social and environmental problems with a focus on sustainability. This year I developed two autonomous projects: Cultivar Brasil and Rede Agroflorestal

During this period I started to delve into the study of Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Maidsafe), Blockchain etc. I was then invited to create an advertising project (Ads) similar to Google Adwords: plimst.com.

I also created at that time a music player called AlleSongs.com that allowed you to listen to any music without having to download anything. All based on searches from sources like Youtube, SoundCloud, etc.

At the end of 2015 I felt the need for a better quality of life and so I left Winmoon and started working in a home office. I was then inited to develop an online money transfer platform between countries for Star Business and Travel known as Muito Simples.

During this period I also did several freelancers and I felt that I evolved a lot because I had more time and freedom to work on smaller projects and with new technologies like Node.JS, Angular, etc.

In 2012 I was invited to be a partner, alongside my friends from previous projects (Paolo Petrelli and Natanael Garcia) of the newly founded Winmoon Soluções Tecnológicas, a company supported by several Brazilian and foreign investors.

Winmoon was born with a mission to create a new project: an integrated social network with a payment tool with its own currency, a collective financing system (Crowdfunding) and a collective collaboration system (Crowdsource) all on different platforms that communicated and allowed the creation of applications. All of this was developed using Ruby on Rails.

At this company I was responsible for the project of the social network Gandia, which was renamed 12 Rios. With this project I was able to experience what it is to be a Full Stack programmer, as I took care of all network processes and the development and security of a social network.

The project, in addition to having all the logics of a complex social network, also had multilevel user and currency schemes, which required a high level of security.

At that time I immersed myself in Java programming. There I worked on several client projects such as websites in PHP, control systems in Java and one in particular which was a social network called Gandia where I had the opportunity to do all kinds of work which made me evolve a lot and get confidence in programming.
