Building robust backends, local infrastructure, and thoughtful systems.
I'm Alejandro, a developer focused on building useful tools, expressive interfaces, and highly personal computing environments.
I enjoy working close to the system: Linux desktops, developer tooling, automation, terminal workflows, and interfaces that feel fast and intentional. I care about the details that turn technically correct software into software people actually enjoy using.
Focus: Backend systems, Go, Linux, local AI infrastructure
Currently: Building open-source tools and a personal Linux ecosystem
Mindset: Make it reliable. Make it fast. Make it yours.
| Linux & Desktop UX | Backend & Systems |
|---|---|
| Custom Hyprland and Quickshell environments with dynamic panels, notifications, control centers, system telemetry, and keyboard-first workflows. | Backend services, local AI infrastructure, developer tooling, and automation designed to be reliable outside of a demo. |
| Project | Description | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| dotfiles | A modular Linux desktop ecosystem built around Hyprland, Quickshell, Fish, and Neovim. | Shell, QML, Lua |
| attack-shark-linux | A Linux configurator for the Attack Shark X6 mouse, which ships with zero official Linux support. Full HID protocol reverse-engineered from scratch with Ghidra and USB captures, validated live against the real dongle. | Go, TypeScript, Linux |
| relay-mcp | An MCP server that gives AI agents persistent PTY sessions — real "eyes" on a terminal instead of one-shot shell commands — so they can drive interactive tools like git rebase -i or a TUI. |
Go, Shell |
I also contribute to open-source projects from Gentleman Programming, focused on AI-assisted development and developer infrastructure.
| Project | Contribution Area |
|---|---|
| Engram | Persistent memory for AI coding agents, backed by Go, SQLite, FTS5, MCP, HTTP, CLI, and TUI tooling. |
| Gentle AI | AI-assisted engineering workflows, developer tooling, and automation. |
Tools I reach for daily:
GitHub calculates the stats and language breakdown below directly from my public repositories.
- Expanding my modular Linux desktop ecosystem.
- Building backend systems and local AI infrastructure.
- Exploring the intersection of AI agents, open-source tooling, and human-friendly interfaces.
Curiosity is a feature.
