hi, Mago here |

Software developer based in San Francisco. I like turning everyday problems into useful projects, and occasionally building games and other things just for fun. When I’m not coding, I’m probably checking out a new café or hanging out with my cats.

Say hi!!



/ about me

I'm a computer science graduate interested in machine learning, AI, and mobile development. I enjoy building practical software, especially projects that take an everyday problem and turn it into something useful.

I currently volunteer as a programmer with Games for Love, where I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to build, test, and improve Unity games.

Outside of coding, I enjoy reading, drawing, experimenting with pixel art, and learning new things — usually while starting yet another little project to obsess over.
