I build things that bridge the gap between hardware and software.

Music came first. I've been playing guitar and bass for over 19 years, and that obsession with sound led me to formal education in recording arts and music production — first at ITESM Monterrey in Mexico, then at Full Sail University in Florida. I learned how audio systems work from the ground up: acoustics, signal flow, analog and digital processing.

That foundation landed me in live entertainment as a Technical Director, where I managed large-scale audio systems for concerts, corporate events, and touring productions. I built Python automation tools that reduced show-prep time by 75%, and led teams of audio engineers across complex, high-stakes environments where things had to work the first time.

The programming itch kept growing. I started reverse-engineering hardware protocols — most notably writing Linux kernel drivers for Universal Audio's Apollo interface in the Apollo-Linux project. That work pulled me deeper into systems programming, networking, and infrastructure. I built a homelab running Proxmox VE with 20+ containers, and started building full-stack web platforms on Cloudflare's edge.

Now I'm pursuing software development full-time. I bring a perspective shaped by hardware, systems, and audio into every project — an intuition for how things actually work at a lower level that informs the software I build at a higher one. I'm passionate about open source, self-hosting, and building tools that give people real control over their own infrastructure.
