Eclectic developer from Mexico City who somehow ended up in Montreal. Turns out this chilango actually loves winter, go figure. You'll find me biking around Rosemont looking for the perfect café con leche, even at -20°C.
I work mostly with PHP (Laravel, WordPress) and JavaScript, plus React Native/Flutter/Kotlin Multiplatform when mobile projects come knocking. Currently deep in the WordPress ecosystem at Pressbooks, building open-source educational publishing tools.
Lately I've been going all-in on CLI-first workflows and agentic development. Terminal life chose me.
"Working effectively with AI agents feels like dealing with a smarty pants teenager. If you give them proper boundaries, good rules, etiquette and positive reinforcement, you'll have a more helpful human. If you don't provide a framework, they'll be lost and looping in the void." — Me

- Simplyfile — Immigration case management reimagined for the agentic era
- MotaMeet — A digital way to find your crew
- Desafío de hábitos — Habit tracking that actually holds you accountable
I play guitar, I'm pretty obsessed with trip-hop (Jay Jay Johanson, Elysian Fields, L'Impératrice, Keren Ann, Velours Velours), and Montreal's café scene has basically become my second office. Check out some of my music on YouTube if you're curious.
Also: I type everything on NuPhy keyboards. Once you go low-profile mechanical, there's no going back.
