About

Software engineer specialising in IT and hardware, software and cloud products. Currently leading IT at Arai, a technology brand of SoftShop and Paraguay's first Chromebook brand. Google Cloud Professional Architect certified. Specialised in software development and AI work with agents and local inference. I build and maintain the arai.la storefront as the sole developer, lead the device line — cloud AI integration and LTE connectivity — and design hands-on programs that put real tools in front of people who have never used them; my most recent one put ~400 Paraguayan students aged 14 to 17 through a live entrepreneurship competition, covered by 5Días. Before Arai I built production services and AI systems at SoftShop.

My Projects

Check out my latest work

I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.

Gafitas

A Mac UI harness for small models. It finds the code that answers your question on-device with EmbeddingGemma, then has a coding agent draw an interactive figure of how it fits together, tied to the real lines. Gafitas ships the drawings, so a small local model can explain as clearly as a frontier one.

Live entrepreneurship bootcamp — Team Arai

Live entrepreneurship bootcamp — Team Arai

Designed and delivered a live entrepreneurship bootcamp for ~400 Paraguayan students aged 14 to 17, run as a real-time competition instead of a lecture: teams defined a product, chose an audience, built a brand identity and shipped a website in roughly 20 to 25 minutes while the auditorium voted by QR code. The whole format was rehearsed first on a fictional anti-stress ball brand: the pixel-art game that opened the session and served ~200 concurrent players, and the 3D store below were both built for it, alongside the lab guides and the digital campaigns. Covered by 5Días.

guayaba-ai

Ongoing harness engineering on Guayaba, an agent harness built on the open-source DeepSeek dsh architecture. Focused on the runtime layer: client internationalization (a full Spanish locale with tests) and agent observability (CI failure reporting, Sentry error tracking), plus the Guayaba branding across the web app and documentation.

flash-attention-from-scratch

My hobby for learning AI from first principles: rebuilding FlashAttention-2 in Triton straight from the paper, working through the theory with notes on multi-head attention, online softmax, tensor layouts, software pipelining and the GPU/CUDA model underneath it.
