Visual Dynamics

A web platform that automates GROMACS molecular dynamics simulations, so researchers can set up, queue, and follow runs from the browser instead of a terminal. I built it end to end and handled its DevOps. Version 3.0 was published in JoVE in 2024.

PlasmoQSAR & PlasmoIA

Fiocruz Rondônia · LABIOQUIM

Software for prospecting inhibitors against Plasmodium falciparum and vivax. PlasmoQSAR calculates pEC50 and EC50% for candidate molecules; PlasmoIA uses convolutional networks to tell whether a cell is infected. I coordinated PAP-Universal 005/2021.

SEDAM GeoPortal

Rondônia State Environmental Secretariat (SEDAM)

Maintained and improved the GeoPortal, SEDAM's in-house viewer and hub for the state's geographic information. Built its companion mobile app and looked after the data and web service infrastructure behind it.

About

I'm Ivo, a developer with a Computer Science degree from UNIR. I started programming at 12. Since 2021 I've been a scientific researcher at Fiocruz Rondônia's Bioinformatics and Medicinal Chemistry Lab (LABIOQUIM), through Fiotec, turning command-line research pipelines into web applications people can run without a terminal, and building AI tools for disease prediction.

My other track is geospatial: from 2024 to 2025 I maintained SEDAM's GeoPortal and built its companion mobile app. Since 2025 I'm a Test Developer at Sidia. I reach for Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, Python, and Flask, and I'm happy to learn whatever the problem needs.

Off the clock: video games, manga, and my cat.
