About
Builder first.
I'm Diego, a full-stack engineer focused on AI prototyping and new kinds of interfaces. I like taking raw model capabilities and turning them into products people actually use.
Right now I'm a freelance tech lead at Afluence, building apps for creators and their audiences. Before that: a startup with friends, AI agents at Severa, and a 36-hour hackathon win.
