> whoami β€” Visual Designer who crossed into code

I'm a Chrome extension developer and visual designer based in Girona, Spain. I spent years running Projekta2 Creative Studio β€” immersive web experiences where design and engineering were indistinguishable. That background shapes everything I ship.

I build tools for the third week of use β€” when the novelty is gone and all that's left is whether it saves you time.

What makes my tools different:

Principle What it means
πŸ’³ One-time payment You pay once. You own it forever. No subscription tax for features that shouldn't recur.
πŸ”‘ BYOK β€” Bring Your Own Key Your API keys never leave your machine. Zero backend proxy. Zero data collection.
🌍 Bilingual from day one EN/ES built into the i18n architecture β€” not translated after the fact.
🚫 Zero telemetry Not even error reporting unless you explicitly opt in.
πŸŒ— Real dark mode Every extension ships with dark mode from v1. Not a checkbox β€” a design decision.

Most tools are built to impress on a demo. I build for the third week of use β€” when the novelty is gone and all that's left is whether it saves you time.



> ls ~/products β€” 3 Chrome extensions in production

All extensions share the same philosophy: one-time payment, 100% local processing, bilingual UX (EN/ES), no telemetry, no dark patterns.

Sponsor projekta2

Clients β€” All three extensions are live and free to install. The best way to evaluate my work is to use it. Custom Chrome extension development available on request β€” bring a problem, I'll build the tool.

Employers / freelance β€” Unusual combination in the market: production-level visual design + working knowledge of Chrome Extension APIs, AI integration (BYOK, prompt engineering), DOM extraction, Google Sheets API, and JavaScript from scratch. I care about UX that doesn't need a tutorial.

Open-source community β€” PR Review Canvas and Build Logs are both actively maintained and open to contributions. If you want to make your first open-source contribution, there are good first issues waiting.
