Become a sponsor to João Vitor

Hi — I'm snwvlr.

I'm a Computer Science undergrad at FIAP and the founder of Orlixys.

Under the Orlixys umbrella I build three Windows applications:
▸ Orlixys Optimizer — system optimization & maintenance (free, MIT, open source)
▸ Orbit — 4K downloader and professional media converter (paid, proprietary)
▸ Photon — image and creative lab with AI Cutout, upscale and automation (paid, proprietary)

I'm also the creator of Korppi Mail — an ephemeral email service that lives
only in RAM, behind 512-bit cryptographic tokens, with zero on-disk storage.

My day-to-day sits between native Windows development, backend systems,
reverse engineering and data privacy as a first-class design constraint.

──────────────────────────────────────────

Why sponsor me?

Some of what I ship I sell. Some of what I ship I give away. All of it is
independent, ad-free and privacy-first — no telemetry, no analytics, no
advertiser money, no user data on the menu.

That model only works if it's funded directly by the people who use it.

Your sponsorship pays for:
▸ Server costs for Korppi Mail (kept RAM-only, kept honest)
▸ Continued development of Orlixys Optimizer as free software
▸ Tooling and licenses for Orbit and Photon
▸ Independence to keep building without selling out
▸ Coffee for the 3AM debugging sessions
