Aqui na Feira
A mobile application created to connect people, places and information inside the Caruaru Market.
Context
The initial idea seemed simple: help visitors find stalls, points of interest and paths inside the market. But as the project progressed, we realized the problem was bigger. The Caruaru Market holds a large amount of scattered, barely structured information — before thinking about how to guide someone from one point to another, we had to understand how to represent and organize the data of that environment.
Challenge
How do you turn a complex physical environment into a data structure that an application can understand, query and use?
Solution
The project became not just a navigation tool, but a solution able to organize the market's information and turn it into an accessible digital experience. The application uses geolocation, maps and structured data to bring users closer to the information that already exists in that space.

The most interesting challenge of the project wasn't only in the screens. It was understanding that a good experience depends on how the data behind it is structured.
This project changed my perception of development: very often, the problem the user sees is just the tip of something much bigger.
