an almost accurate map
of everything on my mind.

the anatomy of a
curious developer.

or do i say, welcome to my portfolio :)

i tinker with more than code.

curiosity,
off the clock.

Sometimes it's a game, a new word,
or finding the next move.

gaming.

A different world.
A little room to switch off.

chess.

Slow down. Look again.
There's always another move.

duolingo.

New words, new ways
to see the world.

computers give my curiosity
somewhere to go.

I've been curious about technology since I was a kid. Over time, wanting to understand it became wanting to build something with it.

it usually starts with a question.

how does
this thing work?

Then I follow the idea, see how the pieces fit,
and find out what I can make of it.

a few things
have my heart.

artificial intelligence.

I like asking what software can learn.
Then comes the more interesting question:
what can we actually do with it?

cybersecurity.

Understanding how a system works
also means asking where it can break.
That's a rabbit hole worth exploring.

data & networks.

I'm curious about what happens
between the pieces: how information moves,
and how those connections shape a system.

  1. started university.

    Information Technology at UCM.

  2. found web3.

    Exploring trust, ownership, and connected systems.

  3. started shipping.

    Turning ideas into working software.

  4. then, AI happened.

    Exploring how AI can make software more useful.

  5. kept learning.

    Hackathons and workshops.

somehow, i keep ending up...

taking ownership.

most things i got curious about became projects.
most projects became something to look after.

curiosity is only the beginning.

understand
the problem.
build something
useful.

I'm interested in what happens between "this could work" and something people can actually use. That's the part of building I keep coming back to: understanding a problem, making a first version, and learning what needs to change.

I care about the details that make software feel dependable. Clear decisions. Fewer unnecessary steps. Things that work together, instead of giving someone another problem to solve.

My interests don't stay in one lane. Web3 made me think about trust. Cybersecurity makes me question what could go wrong. AI has me asking what becomes possible next. The thread through all of it is curiosity, followed by the urge to build.
