ACTIVE OPERATIONS
APR 2026 // HOME IN BARRANQUILLA

- 03 ▸ Running MatrixMD as a profitable, AI-powered platform for clinics and providers.
- 04 ▸ Writing more publicly. This site is part of that — the philosophy page is where the long-form goes.
- 05 ▸ Reading on the porch when the city cools down. Currently mixing AI papers with old history.
Field notes
The small loves that shape what I make.
The bits I won't put on a CV but absolutely shape what I make.
INTEL // 01
A new Raspberry Pi release will derail my afternoon.
I'm the person who clears the desk and orders one before I've finished reading the spec sheet.
INTEL // 02
Ten-plus years with .NET and it still surprises me.
There's a quiet pride in coming back to a runtime you grew up with and finding it has grown up too.
INTEL // 03
I read about how people lived in the 1500s for fun.
Builders need context, even from five centuries away. The constraints they shipped under are worth studying.
INTEL // 04
Barranquilla at night is its own argument.
Sometimes I post a glimpse — porches, lights, neighbours — because the city deserves the documentation.
INTEL // 05
I keep Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini open in parallel.
Not for show — for triangulation. The closest thing I've found to a second brain that actually argues back.
INTEL // 06
Helping someone start their first company.
It's the most leveraged thing I do. One conversation can save somebody a year of learning the wrong lessons.

Thanks for reading this far.
