About
Keeping it short, I'm a builder. Not so short now, I create software with a purpose. Both in my career and my personal projects, I always strive to produce the best code possible with the best possible architecture/infrastructure behind it. Tha being said, I want to build software that helps people in any way possible. And to know where to focus at a given moment, I tend to look to the needs of the people around me that can be solved with software. So here I am. Currently working on a personal finance app which I would love to work on for a few years and grow it to a full suite of financial literacy, knowledge, and learning for people all over. Wanna help?

New personal finance application
Hello everybody, Past few weeks I've been working on a new personal finance web app. So far I'm calling it Lean Budget. The idea is you can input your expenses and incomes, and not just see a newest-sorted list but also graphs to understand the data more visually. This graphs are generated on-the-fly, so they will always be up to date with your movements list. The app is meant to help pretty much anyone have a better record of their money and track when and how much it moves every time, while also providing and overview of their money habits and make it easier to identify areas upon which to improve. The app only stores data that's at most six months old in order to protect your privacy given the sensitivity of the data it works with. It also sends weekly reminders to ensure you keep your data updated for maximum return. Ideally, the first launch will be just this part, but I'd like to grow it continuously with features like monthly budgets and downloadable reports. Later on, the app would also have an education section where users could find personal finance tips and tricks from professionals to help them achieve financial literacy. It's a little bit of an overview of the app and the vision for it, but do let me know if it's something you'd be interested in or would like to know more about.
I quit my job to build
After 15 years dedicated to crafting websites, driving marketing campaigns, designing intuitive UI/UX, and spearheading growth strategies for diverse companies, I've taken the leap. A new, life-changing chapter beckons. It promises fresh tales, budding connections, and the opportunity to found or co-found innovative ventures perhaps even with some of you in this very community. My excitement is real, and I'd love to resonate with those of you who vividly remember that pivotal moment when you decided to take the plunge and just... do it.
