Hi, I'm Aldrete—your friendly neighborhood Software Engineer, AI Engineer, part-time Janitor, full-time Vim Enjoyer, and occasional "Let's see what happens if I push to prod on a Friday" enthusiast. I build things, break things, and sometimes even fix things (usually in that order). Currently debugging my life with the same energy I debug my code: lots of coffee, minimal sleep, and an unhealthy relationship with Stack Overflow.
- Python (because whitespace is my love language, and semicolons are overrated)
- Pandas & Scikit-Learn (making data do tricks since forever—like a digital circus, but with more NaNs)
- DSPy (not just a typo, I swear—it's a real thing, Google it!)
- Docker (I put things in containers, but not my feelings—those stay in /dev/null)
- React, TypeScript, Go (for when I want to feel pain in different programming languages)
- PostgreSQL (because I like my databases relational and my debugging sessions eternal)
- Git (master of merge conflicts and "works on my machine" syndrome)
Multiple personas, customizable workflows, and the ability to pretend I have friends on demand.
Features include:
- Conversations more engaging than my actual social life
- AI that's smarter than me (not a high bar, but still impressive)
- Bugs that are definitely "features in disguise"
Deployable, customizable, and always ready to take over... sorry, help wherever I need an AI agent. Just don't ask it about its feelings—it's still working through some Docker container issues.
More projects coming soon™ (translation: when I stop procrastinating and actually finish them)
Proactive, curious, creative, and always ready to automate myself out of a job. Obsessed with open source because sharing is caring (and also because I want free code reviews from strangers on the internet). I'm the kind of person who:
- Comments code like I'm writing poetry for future developers
- Has strong opinions about tabs vs spaces (it's spaces, fight me)
- Believes that any problem can be solved with enough duct tape and regex
- Treats production like a suggestion, not a rule
Adding value (and sometimes confusion) to developers' lives and the world at large, one sarcastic commit message at a time. Currently working on making AI so good that it can explain why my code works even when I don't. "Making the world a better place, one bug at a time" — probably me, during a 2 AM debugging session
Email: aldretelearns@gmail.com (for fan mail, bug reports, or existential questions about why my code works) LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/aldrete (please endorse my "Taking Down Production" and "Turning Coffee into Code" skills)
Warning: I respond to emails faster than I fix bugs, which isn't saying much
Exercise (mostly running away from my problems) Sleep (when the code finally compiles) Eat (stress-eating while waiting for CI/CD to pass) Plotting to dominate the universe (or at least get my code to compile on the first try) Reading AI research papers (and pretending I understand 100% of them) Digital art (because sometimes you need to create beauty after staring at ugly code all day)
