- in basecamp, the first phase of Future Founders Academy by Tec de Monterrey — learning how to sell what I build. it runs until october 30, then the program picks who goes on to pitch in front of investors.
- selling fred — a fruit freshness monitor that gives you a heads-up before the fruit goes bad. first units sold, and I'm happy to give demos.
- growing trashpanda.mx — fred leads the way, and the smart compost bin comes along as its companion.
- open to freelance mechanical design projects — parts, products and enclosures. see services and prices or let's talk.
- one book, one project, one day at a time.
closing night of the in-person program. I pitched fred to 200+ people, and it turned into my first sales: 4 units presold and paid.
a hands-on composting workshop I taught — from your kitchen to your garden. 30 signed up, 2 showed up, and we still did the whole thing.
co-organized with INNOVA: 20+ teams, 100+ builders, 12 hours building. I closed sponsors Zavu, Clerk, Caffenio and Living Lab Chihuahua, and kept the day running.
fruit freshness monitor that lives in your fruit bowl. it reads the gases fruit gives off as it ripens and sends you a heads-up before it goes bad, so you eat it instead of tossing it. ESP32-C3 with gas and temp/humidity sensing, plus a web dashboard. first 4 units presold, delivering this month.
enclosure design for a desk device that runs the pomodoro technique without pulling you back to your phone. designed the shell, the buttons and the light diffuser around a board that was already made — 25 units built and sold.
open-source civic tech tool that brings verified accountability data directly into citizens' social media feeds. it combines a public database of mexican politicians — each scored 0–100 across five integrity dimensions — with a Chrome extension that detects politician names on any webpage and overlays their verified record in real time. built with Next.js, Supabase, Make.com, and Claude for AI-powered scoring and claim verification. built in 54 hours @hack.indies.la 2026.
ai-powered drawing review service that analyzes technical engineering drawings for GD&T compliance against ASME Y14.5-2018 and provides annotated findings, clear fix instructions for every GD&T issue, and downloadable PDF reports.
interactive map that visualizes hidden food waste data across Mexico, state by state, exposing what governments and companies underreport.
smart bin that helps you recycle your food scraps by turning them into real compost at home.
urban composting platform that makes composting easy and approachable for people living in the city.
the whole process, out loud. taking hardware from an idea to something people can buy — the CAD, the failed prints, the calibration, the parts that break. mistakes included, because those are the useful part.
I read more than I ship. What's on the desk and what's next — happy to swap recommendations.
