About
I engineer software with a bias toward business outcomes; that imply moving fast early on when uncertainty is high and optimize for long-term economics as uncertainty fall over time. Curious by default; strive to understand the structural reality of things — stuff that most people get wrong by default.
Self-studying business, economics, and AI mastery for software development and agentic systems. Aspired to build my own business or be part of a great one.
Early on, I started my career with freelancing — mostly fullstack development, where I delivered a couple of projects for clients. It wasn't a long journey, but it was a great experience and a non-trivial exercise of my technical and soft skills.
Later, I joined a fast-growing startup where I worked on large-scale infra and practiced building systems that scale, are reliable, and are easy to maintain.
At that time I was already heavily-invested in reading books to build solid foundations, books like Clean Code, The Pragmatic Programmer, Design Patterns, and many more.
Reading books
Reading is my preferred way to learn big things, explore different sciences, and just expand my forever-shallow comprehension of the world; some of my favorites:
- Design Patterns (Gang of Four book). A foundational guide to solving common software design problems.
- Getting Things Done. A system for clearing mental clutter, turning overwhelm into calm, methodical productivity.
- The Psychology of Money. Great lessons on how behavior, more than knowledge, drives financial success.
