Since my early years of study, my deep and rooted passion for cars has driven me to explore increasingly complex fields to understand their physical secrets. My engineering journey began with energy, then moved to electrical systems to understand the dynamics of modern electrification. However, the strong call for four wheels and their aerodynamics led me to undertake a new challenge in Mechanical Engineering. It was a natural evolution, guided by curiosity and the constant desire to push beyond my limits.

During my thesis work, I came up against a harsh reality: computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools are often prohibitive. Inaccessible costs, hostile interfaces, and extremely high barriers to entry make them exclusive to large companies. Thus was born the idea of creating an accessible, affordable, and easy-to-use tool for all those enthusiasts who, like me, wanted to simulate their own ideas. I decided to call it Laminar not by chance: in fluid dynamics, laminar flow is the simplest, most orderly, and predictable type of aerodynamic motion. Just like this flow, the software is designed to eliminate the turbulence and chaos of mathematical complexities, offering a clean, simple, and direct experience. I developed the entire project completely on my own, sacrificing countless nights, weekends, and investing massive personal resources. It's not just software, but a real mission to democratize aerodynamics and make it accessible to anyone with a good idea to test.
