Self-taught web developer based in El Paso, TX with 10+ years of experience building for the web. No degree, no bootcamp — just a relentless pursuit of knowledge and a love for the craft.
I practice agentic engineering — building alongside AI using Claude Code with a custom skills collection + GSD workflow to ship real products, not prototypes.
Linux enthusiast for 15+ years. I use Arch, BTW.
🔥 FlareCMS — An edge-native headless CMS for Astro sites, built on Cloudflare Workers, D1, R2, and KV. Content management at the edge.
