INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE STUDIO

Ideas take shape.
Code comes to life.

Games that provoke reflection. Systems that share knowledge. Technology built with purpose and responsibility.

01 / PROJECTS

Under construction.
Always evolving.

Different ideas. One commitment: turn complexity into software that makes sense.

02 / THE STUDIO

Built in Brazil.
Made to go further.

ForjaGo is the identity of our independent development work. We build to question, increase autonomy, and share knowledge, placing each project’s social purpose at the center of the conversation.

We start with the problem. Build a clear core, test our choices, and evolve in cycles. AI supports development; review, decisions, and responsibility remain human.

BACKGROUND / TECHNOLOGY & PEOPLE

Experience at a public university incubator.

Scholarship holder · Incubadora de Empresas Sul Fluminense / UERJJul 2020 — Jun 2021

Felipe Reis worked on prototyping laboratory maintenance, support for Arduino, Raspberry Pi and 3D printing, and introductory programming workshops and technical support.

Affiliated with UERJ, a state public university, the incubator supports entrepreneurs and innovative projects, with a focus on regional economic and social development. This experience is part of the background behind ForjaGo and its commitment to technology that supports people, shares knowledge, and expands opportunities.

Explicit purpose. Verifiable code. Continuous evolution.

PURPOSE & ACCESS

Software does not exist
outside society.

Each project contributes differently. We explain its intent, stage, and openness, without confusing purpose with proven impact.

Favela TD ↗

Playing can also mean questioning.

Use the language of games to reflect on policing, parallel powers, and institutional neglect. The critique targets power structures, not residents.

Prototype in development; an open-source license has not been defined.
Licitações ↗

Reduce barriers for small suppliers.

The social intention is clearer, traceable public procurement information, supporting informed participation and transparency. This remains a proposal: inclusion, awarded contracts, and reduced inequality have not been measured.

Concept stage · access model and license to be defined.
Concursos ↗

Better-organized access to public opportunities.

The intended contribution is to help applicants understand and track deadlines, notices, and changes. Alerts do not replace official sources; accessibility, reliability, and the access model still need to be defined.

Concept stage · subscription discussed, no plans available.
WYD-Go ↗

Open engineering for learning and collaboration.

Sharing code and documentation for a complex system creates opportunities for study, review, and technical collaboration. The project can be reviewed and reused under GPLv3; this does not grant rights to game trademarks or assets.

LAB / IDEAS UNDER RESEARCH

Before the product,
comes the question.

Directions recovered from our initial discussion. These are product hypotheses, not available services or a promised roadmap.

R / 01

Regulatory monitoring

Explore detecting changes in official sources, comparing versions, and delivering structured events to businesses.

R / 02

Public data API

Explore normalizing scattered sources into a traceable interface for other applications.

R / 03

Document API

Research extracting PDFs into structured data with references to source documents and review.

R / 04

API maintenance

Explore contract change detection, testing, and suggested fixes through pull requests.

R / 05

Fiscal integration

Explore layout validation and integration monitoring without presenting tax rules as implemented.

R / 06

Small-business agents

Study process automation in specific niches, with decisions and outbound actions under human control.

03 / OUR PROCESS

Building means
refining every step.

01

Understand

Investigate the problem, record decisions, and define what needs to be true.

02

Build

Modular code, executable prototypes, and tests that follow behavior.

03

Refine

Measure, improve, and document. A passing test is no substitute for real experience.
