Info
To solve the lack of easily accessible environmental safety data for Florianópolis' surfing and nomad communities. I developed a native iOS app that translates complex state monitoring into a bilingual, user-friendly safety tool.
The Tech & Engineering
AI-Accelerated Development: Leveraged AI as a pair-programmer to architect the backend logic and filter official IMA (Instituto do Meio Ambiente) data specifically for the island’s 80+ points.
Data Integrity: Created a cross-referenced system comparing local results with US EPA standards, providing an extra layer of safety verification.
Dynamic Syncing: Automated updates that mirror the state's seasonal testing schedule (weekly in summer, monthly in winter).
The Design
Native Experience: Built to Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) for a premium, seamless OS feel.
Vision-Ready Icon: Designed a multi-layered "Apple Glass" icon using Icon Composer to ensure the brand aesthetic matches modern iOS standards.
Utility-First UI: Features a searchable list and an interactive map with support for Apple, Google, and Waze.
A bridge between official government data and the people in the water, the app provides transparency and health safety for locals and the global digital nomad community alike.
