Stayin' alive
The industry keeps calling game over. I didn't get the memo.
No templates, no shortcuts. Just the discipline of solving problems from scratch. That same discipline is what lets me pick up Anthropic's API, Bolt.new, or Rive and deliver. The stack changes overnight. The curiosity doesn't.

Ensenada, Baja California. The Pacific Ocean is 10 minutes away. The best wine in Mexico grows 20 minutes in the other direction. An hour and a half from the U.S. border, close enough to everything, far enough to think clearly.

When the Commodore 64 was relaunched in 2026, it sold out in hours. A machine discontinued decades ago, and people never stopped writing software for it, building new hardware, releasing new games. Not out of nostalgia. Out of something harder to explain: the refusal to call it game over.
The first time I sat in front of one, I thought I was playing. I had no idea I was learning to think. That same instinct is what I bring to every project: stay curious, start over when you have to, find the new right answer. The stack changes overnight. The willingness to learn doesn't.
This portfolio is green on black because that was always an option on the original hardware. Highest contrast available. I didn't choose it for nostalgia. I chose it because it's still the right answer.
Going back to the origin isn't retreat. The cursor keeps blinking ▮.
