Engineering is what happens when curiosity survives contact with reality.

I’m Maurício Menegaz. This is my personal hub: civil engineering, ships, Rust systems, BIM studies, OpenBSD servers, public projects, music, chess damage control, and whatever else refuses to stay in a single box.

Personal map

One person, several operating environments.

This site keeps the civil-engineer identity in the center while giving proper gravity to the rest: sea work, Rust, math, content, and experiments.

01

Civil engineering

Structures, BIM studies, design logic, technical writing, and the long discipline of turning constraints into stable forms.

02

Ships and offshore life

Deck officer experience, tanker operations, rotation life, maritime discipline, and practical field notes from a world that does not tolerate hand-waving.

03

Rust and infrastructure

Rust, systems thinking, databases, Linux/BSD, ESP32, AI tooling, deployment, and small systems that are built to survive outside the notebook.

04

Physics and mathematics

A permanent background process: models, geometry, mechanics, systems thinking, and the pleasure of understanding why things behave.

05

Public experiments

DevOpsRaiz, Inglês Raiz, Offshore Brasil, creative AI workflows, livestream concepts, and practical experiments with media, products, and automation.

06

Human side

Jiu-jitsu, running, polo, music, guitar, piano, philosophy, diplomacy, faith, family, and the chess board where optimism goes to be tested.

Online presence

A launchpad for the ecosystem.

Each link has a job. This domain is the root identity: the professional, technical, and personal index that makes the rest easier to understand.

Field notes

Things this site can grow into.

The first version should be simple. The next versions can become a living notebook for engineering, sea work, Rust, and public experiments.

BIM from first principles

Compartment logic, parametric design ideas, construction reasoning, and the bridge between civil engineering and programmable design.

OpenBSD web notes

Small-server operations, httpd configuration, deployment via git, security defaults, logs, and the joy of boring infrastructure.

Life at sea

Rotational work, discipline, equipment, navigation culture, and how maritime constraints shape engineering thinking.

Chess postmortems

Short public confessions about blunders, calculation failure, time pressure, and the occasional moment of suspicious brilliance.

Operating principle

Build small, test in reality, keep the good parts, publish the lessons.

That applies to a static website, a shipboard routine, a BIM idea, a Rust service, a content channel, and probably a chess opening that should never again be played without adult supervision.
