Almeida Santos
LYSZT is my portfolio and a platform for computer science education. It displays my work and also serves as a guide and documentation on hardware and chip design. Its purpose is to help more than to display.
What I do
Software engineering, design, hardware and research.
Portfolio
Open-source and closed-source web apps, productivity tools, data systems and other work in a range of languages. The portfolio page contains the README for all my projects.
