hey, I’m Hector 👋

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.

current deep dives

  • 📱 mobile apps, especially consumer-facing products that actually ship
  • 🧠 RAG systems, agentic AI, and human-in-the-loop workflows
  • 🗣️ bilingual NLP (English / Spanish / Spanglish)
  • 🎮 educational games for kids
  • 🧰 AI tools that help people do things, not just talk about them

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.

beliefs

  • 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.

a little background

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.

interests (outside the IDE)

  • history, culture, travel
  • books (Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, Kerouac)
  • language in all its messy, powerful forms
  • learning, learning, forever learning

why follow me

  • 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.
