My name is Rui Da Costa and I love the web. I love developing, designing, concepting, sketching, imagining and so on. I think of myself as being a fairly creative person. I'm always thinking of a new idea, alternative solution, tweak, anything really. Take a look at some of the cool stuff I've worked on and then get in touch.

Startup Bus ⧉
The conductor of my bus for the Startup Bus 2013 competition, asked me to help develop a landing page for the current Startup Bus website. This was the design and code that I came up with.

Deliverish is a peer-to-peer delivery marketplace where users can request or make deliveries with other people. I developed the mobile web prototype and branding site during the StartupBus 2013 competition.

GAS ⧉
For my employer I kept having to create specific link tracking code for our sites. I wanted to simplify this so I created the Google Analytics Spider, or GAS. The script runs on page load and adds events for link clicking and form events easily.

Storymixes ⧉
For the Fall 2013 HackUpstate competition, I wanted to run with an idea that I had centered around 'choose your own adventure' stories. The premise is you write a story and each step of the way, people can 'remix' and create their own endings.

Drunkspotting ⧉
Before the finals of the StartupBus 2013, a large group of us decided to take one of the other team's projects (cloudspotting) and remix it. What we got was a digital rendition of drawing on your friends when they pass out. I created the initial logo concept, worked on design and development of the web-based version.
