Hey there! I'm Alvaro

AI disrupted my field. I jumped on the chance to evolve.

I spent over a decade in creative industries as a graphic designer, artist, and author. When AI shook everything up, I reinvented myself as an engineer. I believe creativity and technology should not be at odds, and that AI is at its best when it excites and empowers us.

I love letting my imagination run free. The better I get as a developer, the more I can make my ideas a reality. That excitement keeps me focused and driven. I want to build apps that bring people joy and make the world a little bit more special. The word that comes to mind is delight.

Check my projects to see what I’m currently building. I share what I’m learning along the way in my blog. Intrigued? I hope you stick around!
