World Cup summer
The World Cup is here and I am very happy about it.
There is something wonderful about a month where the world agrees to care about the same little ball. I am hosting La Kinielita for friends and family this year, which makes every match feel a little more alive. Go Spain!
I'll also be going to some games in Monterrey and New York. That feels like the right kind of ridiculous: crossing cities to watch football with people I love while keeping score in an app I helped bring back to life.
Work
Working on Recurrente.com, a payments platform based in Guatemala with the mission to bring economic prosperity to the region.
AI agents & agentic engineering: I'm still excited about what the future holds in agentic engineering. I feel like we're exploring how to restructure a software engineering org from first principles: where AI is useful, where human judgment matters most, how to avoid fatigue, and how to keep powerful tools in check. Codex is my main coding tool right now.
The practical question is becoming more interesting than the abstract one: how do you use agents to ship better products without losing taste, context, or the habit of listening to users?
Side projects
My side-project energy is mostly going toward small, useful systems:
- La Kinielita 2026: hosting a World Cup predictions app for friends and family while the tournament is alive.
- Smart Parking: helping a real parking operation get cleaner software around entries, exits, payments, and photos.
- Digital Garden: slowly making this site feel more like a map of what shaped me.
Entertainment
Anime: I'm a late bloomer into anime, recently watching Dan Da Dan and Evangelion.
Gaming: Loved the game Blue Prince. I love puzzle games and the dynamic/pacing of this one in particular.
Life
Rituals: Still interested in how rituals shape behavior. Repeated forms, shared spaces, and collective attention can turn ordinary moments into something meaningful.
Kitesurfing: Watching the Atitlán wind windows and trying to get on the water when the gusts are good.
