Systems engineering student, building toward AI engineering & research.
I'm a self-directed builder from Armenia, Colombia. I learn by shipping — command-line tools, web apps and AI tooling — turning genuine curiosity into working software.
01 — About
A polymath in the making.
I'm a second-semester Systems Engineering student. I learn in cycles, driven by genuine curiosity rather than obligation — building practical projects is how concepts actually stick for me.
Right now I work in the Technology & AI department at VAECOS, a family business, automating real operational processes. My long-term aim is to become an AI Engineer and Researcher — someone who both understands how these systems work and can build genuinely useful things with them.
I apply stoic philosophy day to day, think in big ambitious arcs, and care about contributing to my community, not just personal success.
02 — Skills
Tools I build with.
Self-taught, project-first. This list grows with every repo.
Languages
Frontend
Backend & Data
AI / ML
Tooling & Infra
03 — Work
Selected projects.
A mix of full-stack apps, CLI tools and automation — every one of them shipped to a public repository.
// note
Each project was built with AI-assisted development — I direct the architecture and decisions while learning to code. Directing AI to ship real software is a craft I'm deliberately practising.
Study Timer
A self-hostable, competitive study tracker for friend groups. Timed sessions, friend codes, live challenges and a stats dashboard — built as a full PWA with offline support and push notifications. Zero vendor lock-in.
agents-ai
A unified CLI to discover, install and manage AI coding agents across editors — Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf and more. Features a shared registry and 3-way drift detection that protects your local edits from upstream changes.
VAECOS Tracking
An order-tracking tool built for VAECOS, the family dropshipping business — automating shipment status and logistics workflows that were previously handled by hand.
Screen Translator
A real-time screen translator for Windows that captures a selected region and translates it on the fly (EN → ES) — useful for untranslated software and documentation.
comando-ayuda
A terminal command, `ayuda`, that translates any tool’s `--help` output into Spanish — lowering the language barrier on the command line for Spanish-speaking learners.
04 — Contact
Let's build something.
I'm open to collaboration, open-source contributions and learning opportunities. The fastest way to reach me is email.
