Projects

neonforge

Cyberpunk-styled React component system — 60+ components, shadcn registry, preset theme tokens, Next.js docs with live demos. I've built this to use on my projects — more of them coming here in the future.

rustify

Bringing robust null and error handling to TypeScript with a Result, Option and an exhaustive match pattern — published to npm and JSR. Currently used in my projects to ensure correctness.

GitHub

file-organizer

Rust CLI that organizes your Downloads by file extension — dry-run preview before anything moves, year/month date grouping, and full revert. Colliding filenames get a numeric suffix instead of overwriting, and symlinks are left untouched.

dotfiles

GNU stow dotfiles — Hyprland/niri, Ghostty, kanata, espanso, NixOS config. This is my daily driver for building my projects and working with people — a workflow that works just for me.

About me

Software developer with 6 years of experience building web applications end to end. In my most recent role, I helped build the cloud platform that powers veterinary clinics — medical records, prescriptions, billing, and inventory — in Python and Next.js/TypeScript on AWS. My recent focus has been AI in production: I was the leading contributor to Nectar Note AI, a voice-to-note assistant that summarizes consultations into medical notes, and I built Ask Coco, an in-app AI assistant grounded in patient records — shipping 275+ features end-to-end across 3.5 years.


On the internet, I go by @ghaerdi — a nickname born from the German custom of replacing ä with ae. My core stack: TypeScript, React, Node.js, GraphQL, Tailwind CSS — plus Rust in personal projects, and Python when backend work calls for it. I've also built extensively with Vue in the past.


Outside of work, my main personal project is a secure password vault I'm building from scratch. My development environment of choice is Linux, an OS I'm passionate about customizing for a perfectly optimized workflow.


An interesting fact about me is that I was born in Switzerland — my mom and I are from the Dominican Republic, so we ended up moving there. I've lived most of my life in the DR. Somehow I ended up falling in love with a person I met on the internet about 15 years ago; she's from Chile, and after some time I moved here. Now I'm happily married to her and living in Chile.

Interests

Gaming mouse
game night

Gaming

Since I have memory I always loved playing videogames. It all started with a Game Boy — now I don't have the time I used to for gaming, but I still enjoy it as a kid. I have played a lot of games and I'm not sure I can pick one as a favorite, but Red Dead Redemption II and Cyberpunk 2077 always come to mind

Demon Slayer movie
evening watch

Anime & series

I enjoy watching anime, series or movies with my wife — lately I've started re-watching Naruto with her

Music box
now playing

Music

Always on — I used to listen to more underground music, but recently I've been getting a taste for popular artists, adding more variety to my playlist

Rollerblades
wheels

Inline skating

I'm on skates when the weather cooperates. I used to skate as a kid but somehow lost the habit as time passed — recently I rediscovered this interest

Car with flowers

Photography & drone

I like to get around and capture moments with my phone, or with my drone when I'm traveling

Digital portrait drawing
tablet & pen

Digital drawing

I started developing my drawing skill as a kid. I ended up merging technology with drawing, and now I mostly draw on my tablet

Travel

I like to see the beauty of the world firsthand — I'm planning to see more of the planet
