"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?"
_{Romans 8:35}

indie dev — code / hardware / electronics

I like knowing what's actually happening under the abstraction. That's why I write Rust and C for things that talk to metal, and Elixir, Go, and TypeScript for things that talk to people. Most of my bugs get fixed at 2am on a ThinkPad running Gentoo, and I regret nothing.

Things I hold as convictions, not preferences:

• Open source is a philosophy, not a distribution model. Software you can't read is software you have to trust blindly.
• Financial privacy is a human right. Not a feature, not a nice-to-have.
• If you don't understand the layer below the one you work on, you're guessing. Assembly won't hurt you.
• Plain text outlives everything. Emacs, org-mode, git. My config files will outlive most startups.

I study languages the way I study systems — to understand from the inside. Portuguese and English fluently; Korean, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, and Mandarin at the level where I can embarrass myself confidently.

When I'm not compiling, I'm composing. Music and code are the same discipline: structure, tension, resolution.
