$ cat profile.txt

Entrepreneur, founder, and indie hacker — also a Software Engineer & Tech Support Specialist. I am building Veidt LLC, launched April 2026, alongside deep technical work in enterprise systems and security.

At Veidt I lean into business, marketing, art, agentic AI, cybersecurity, and QA — connecting product narrative, creative direction, and reliable systems. I still ship across the stack when the mission demands it: from COBOL and Oracle PL/SQL in critical telemetry, to CV/ML pipelines and agentic workflows with Python, PyTorch, and the Claude API.

I operate at the intersection of complex infrastructure and modern tooling: bridging operational teams with dev workflows, keeping systems stable, and shipping software that works under pressure. Five-time national hackathon champion in Paraguay.
