Hi! 👋
I am Henrique Dias and I study Computer Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Portugal while working at the most fascinating open-source projects, just like IPFS.
Protocol Labs
Protocol Labs is a research and development institution for improving the Internet technology. Focusing on IPFS, the InterPlanetary File System, we're building a decentralised, P2P and content-addressable network for future-proofing the web.
🌐Decentralizing my website with IPFS
How does my website work with IPFS? Where does the content go? What happens when my website is accessed through HTTP? Here's a tale that explains of what happens.
Mirroring xkcd comics to IPFS
How I built a cloner for xkcd and keep the clone up to date on IPFS.
🎨Trying Pixel Art
Recently I've been wanting to try out more things in my life. And one of them is more artistic than I'm used to: pixel art! This is where I share how was my first contact with this pixelized world.
⛈Thunderstorm
A thunderstorm experiment with two different kinds of rain and lightenings. It is based on some code I found online, with reworked code and added sound.
🏳️🌈Pixel-color-mania
A little colorful experiment where you can randomly create squares, lines and adjust their size and sobreposition settings.
🗺Procedural Map Generator
A (unfortunately not as fast as I wanted) procedural map generator using Perlin noise.
📺Old TV
A little experiment where I try to mimic an old television noise. Both the sound and the image.
Working at Protocol Labs
I joined Protocol Labs in November 2017 and it is being an incredible experience so far.
How did I start working remotely in a startup
A story of a 17 years old boy who met someone and one year later was invited to join a startup as a Full Stack Developer.
