SILLINESS SPECIALIST

Software Engineer Builder Musician Professional Tinkerer

I build software that turns complicated problems into things people can actually use. When I’m not doing that, I’m usually making music, taking things apart, flying something, building something, or getting distracted by another hobby.

ABOUT ME

The slightly longer version

I grew up in Mexico surrounded by music and somehow ended up making computers my profession. I moved to the United States in 2013 and eventually made Missouri home.

Over the years I’ve worked on everything from websites to large software systems, but the thing I’ve always enjoyed most is solving problems — preferably complicated ones.

Outside software, you’ll usually find me making music, taking photos, playing games, working on some unnecessarily complicated project, or learning something I didn’t know yesterday.

What I’m up to

Building

AI-powered tools, software experiments and automation.

Learning

Diving deeper into distributed systems, AI and whatever rabbit hole wins this week.

Playing

Video games, strategy games and the occasional tabletop campaign.

Making

New songs, electronics projects, drones and 3D printed gadgets.

LET’S TALK

Say hi. I don’t bite.

Software, music, weird projects, technology, or particularly good cookies.
