Systems that run.
Communities that grow.

I'm a sysadmin-minded operator and content creator. I keep infrastructure honest — C, networking, reverse engineering, self-hosted stacks — and I've shipped videos, graphics and copy for a fully onchain game backed by a $1.3M seed round.

Graphics, motion and copy I authored for Kamigotchi — a fully onchain idle-MMORPG combining strategy, pet-raising and PVP within a seamless onchain economy. Every piece below was written and designed by me, and spoke to a live community.

Projects

Systems I've built and broken.

Infrastructure work, research and tooling — the kind of problems you only learn by taking things apart.

01 / research
vidaaloca

Smart-TV exploitation framework. Reverse-engineered a consumer TV down to its boot chain — Ghidra-driven analysis, custom daemons written in C, ARMv7 musl cross-compilation, and socket-level failure diagnosis when the watchdogs started fighting back.

CGhidraARMv7networking
02 / self-hosting
HomeFlix

A full media platform running from a Windows box behind a home router: Caddy reverse proxy with automatic TLS, Next.js frontend, Jellyfin, torrent bridges and watchdog automation — with DNS that tracks a drifting WAN IP on its own.

CaddyDNSJellyfinautomation
03 / automation
ApplyPilot

A job-search pipeline that watches seven regional and remote boards, de-duplicates across providers, scores matches adaptively against a profile, and surfaces them through an authenticated dashboard behind a tunnel.

Let's build something worth shipping.

Looking for someone who can run the systems, talk to the community, and make the pixels move. I'm based in A Coruña and work remote across Spain and the EU.
