Pop!_OS → Mint → GarudaLeft Windows, accidentally removed a desktop environment, and discovered that breaking the machine was the fastest way to understand it.
Hello, I’m Carlos.
I make software
with nerve.
A pragmatic software engineer building thoughtful web products, developer tools, and performance-aware systems.

Built to be used.
Designed to be remembered.
Projects where clean engineering, practical choices, and visual character solve the same problem.
01GitHub intelligence, made beautiful
GitPeak
A visual analytics experience that turns a public GitHub profile into a polished, shareable dashboard.
02Less scheduling, more living
Slottle
A browser extension that generates conflict-free university schedules without copied cookies or manual entry.
03Jupyter notebooks, live inside Neovim
ipynb-peek.nvim

02 / POINT OF VIEW
There is no best solution, only the best compromise for the situation.
CURRENT_STATE.MD
Right tool. Clear reason.
I choose tools by tradeoff, write defensively, and design for change. Right now I’m building web products and exploring .NET architecture.

04 / LINUX JOURNEY Five years of making
Five years of making
a computer feel like mine.
A very abbreviated history of broken desktops, beautiful configs, and eventual pragmatism.
02
2021–23 The golden years
Garuda · KDE · Arch ecosystemTwo years of rolling releases, BTRFS snapshots, the AUR, and learning that the operating system could be a creative medium.
03
2024 The aesthetic
Arch · Hyprland · Rosé PineBuilt a pink, carefully composed Wayland setup and started treating configuration as product design.
04
2025 The optimization
Arch · i3 · battery lifeTraded some spectacle for restraint. A lighter window manager, portable dotfiles, and a setup tuned for the work.
05
NOW The pragmatist
CachyOS · KDE PlasmaA stable, hardware-friendly setup that lets me focus on getting real work done.
05 / OPEN CHANNEL Bring me the idea
Bring me the idea
you can’t ignore.
I’m open to internships, collaborations, open-source work, and unusually difficult problems. If it sounds ambitious, we’ll probably get along.
