Where the systems come from
Origin

Two cultures. One question. A lifetime of building.

I grew up between worlds, Puerto Rican warmth and Cape Verdean resilience. Two cultures with long memories of what it costs when systems fail the people inside them.

The history of Cape Verde and Puerto Rico taught me what a broken system costs long before I knew how to build a better one. So when I attended the University of Connecticut and earned my Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering, I made it my goal to learn how to abstract my purpose and passions into software to empower myself and others.

I am a lifelong reader. I gravitate most to autobiographies for the real stories that don't get told in textbooks, and science fiction and fantasy for the ones that ask the most honest questions about power, freedom, and transformation.

Puerto Rican roots

Warmth as infrastructure

Puerto Rican culture taught me that community is a system, and that the most important part of any system is whether the people inside it feel supported.

Cape Verdean roots

Resilience by design

Cape Verdean resilience and creativity is generational because our ancestors had to create so much from so little.

New England upbringing

Education as empowerment

My grandmother was a servant in Cape Verde, West Africa and never received a formal education. New England gave me access to an education I did not take lightly.

How I think
The gravity model

Each passion orbits the same sun.

Not a roadmap. Not a sequence. A gravitational field. Click a planet, the story comes to you.

How I build
The principles
I

Structural thinking

Every problem has a system behind it. I find the structure before I build the solution, because a patch on a broken system is just a slower version of the same failure.

II

Generational

I create systems to empower myself and others based on challenges I faced in the past. The Latina Investor™️ is a catalyst for healing relationship to money & gaining financial literacy.

III

Inclusive

PropertyInspector.AI ensures future real estate investments are structurally sound and safe. By creating guardrails against the challenges I have faced, I can help others feel empowered too.

IV

Transparency

CodingWizard.AI embeds transparency on the purpose of each piece of a system, at the codebase level.
