01About

I'm a full-stack engineer based in Santiago, Chile. At Ria I ship international money transfer features used thousands of times a day; before that I built PWAs, serverless APIs and enterprise apps for teams in the US and Chile.

I studied Computer Engineering at the Universidad de Chile (DCC), where I got hooked on game engines, programming languages and compilers. On the side I publish mobile games and tools most recently WTX, an open plain-text format for strength training.

A plain-text format for strength training — .wtt routines and .wts sessions you can read and write by hand — plus a local-first app to build routines, log workouts with a rest timer and PR detection, and share them through QR codes.
