Before creating the pseudonym 
luis & squares, Luís was terribly bored during the Covid-19 pandemic between 2021 and 2022. It was during this time that he discovered the Blender software and began creating 3D modeling art, publishing some of his works on his Instagram account.
At that time, Luís was studying Electromechanics at the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Norte. With the skills he acquired during the pandemic, he joined an internal laboratory called FabLab PotiMaker, focused on digital fabrication and prototyping projects. There, he discovered 3D printing — something he never imagined doing when he first started learning 3D modeling. At FabLab PotiMaker, Luís helped develop robotics and 3D printing projects and taught workshops at events.
After becoming an Electromechanics technician, he began his undergraduate studies in Computer Science. In his very first semester, he started the project of creating this website and writing the paragraph you, the reader, are reading right now.
In 2025, Luís joined EmbarcaTech, a technological residency program in embedded systems, where he is currently working with microcontrollers, communication protocols, IoT, and real-time systems. This experience has expanded his digital fabrication practice into the field of embedded systems and hardware/software integration.
He is also the co-founder of Lab 141, a 3D printing startup in northeastern Brazil. Lab 141 is a collaborative creation inspired by the experience with FabLab PotiMaker. Its purpose is to expand into a makerspace and develop sustainable projects. For more information, get in touch.
Luís enjoys art, programming, 3D, books, chess, paper boats, and squares. He aims to leave his mark on the world by taking part in the Fifth Industrial Revolution, transhumanism, and writing books.
Overall, Luís Coutinho has skills in 3D modeling, 3D printing, embedded systems, graphic design, web development, creative coding and prototyping. If you’d like to get in touch, send a message. You can also check out his portfolio:
