Writer and editor by training.
Builder and AI engineer by vocation.
I think at the intersection of language, software, and creativity. I build because tools shape who gets access—and too many people are still left out.
🥑 También desarrollo y colaboro profesionalmente en español.

Right now I’m shipping a mobile fitness app for Latinas who want to get strong and healthy without giving up the foods they love.
- good software should be useful, user-friendly, and pretty
- small teams win because they’re nimble, curious, and not afraid of mistakes
- AI is dangerous when used without understanding or purpose, but powerful when it translates human vision into reality
- simplicity scales; over-engineering doesn’t
- tech isn’t for “some people” — it’s for anyone with curiosity and drive
I reject gatekeeping, needless complexity, and the idea that technology has to feel cold.
I believe in the beauty and boundless potential of humanity.
I spent years as a managing editor and contributor at small, independent Latino media companies. That work shaped how I think: clarity matters, language matters, and systems always reflect values.
The throughline from writing to programming is simple:
words have always moved people... and now they also move machines.
My mom is a Honduran immigrant, my dad's Puerto Rican, but I identify most with the city that taught me how culture, grit, and creativity coexist — Chicago.
- history, culture, travel
- books (Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, Kerouac)
- language in all its messy, powerful forms
- learning, learning, forever learning
- experiments & prototypes
- production code as I ship more products
- notes, tools, and half-finished ideas
- projects shaped by curiosity, not hype
I’m open to collaboration, feedback, and fellowship, because knowledge grows best when it’s shared.
