In May I let curiosity run its course. I shelved perfection long enough to build things that solve small problems, spark a smile or teach me something new. Some of these projects are finished tools you can use right now; others are playful experiments still under construction. Together they map the places I like to work: utility with a wink, code as craft, and a stubborn love for making things that invite people in.
Tikk.cl — Convert an Excel to a working ecommerce, for free.
What started as a frustration with product lists and messy CSVs became Tikk. Drop an Excel in, follow a few tidy steps, and you get an online store that’s functional and free. It’s not about replacing complex platforms; it’s about lowering the barrier to selling for someone who just needs a beautiful, working shop this afternoon. Small businesses and makers can go from spreadsheet to storefront without shipping costs, hosting headaches, or a learning curve.
Leyresponsable.cl — Support platform for separated parents (WIP).
Separation rewrites family logistics overnight. Leyresponsable is my attempt to create a calm corner where separated mothers and fathers can find legal guidance, shared tools, and resources to manage co-parenting with respect. It’s still a work in progress, but its heart is simple: reduce conflict by providing clear information and practical templates, and make it easier to focus on what really matters — the kids.
Criptobot.cl — A bot learning the big four cryptocurrencies (WIP).
I’ve always been curious about pattern, noise, and where luck ends and skill begins. Criptobot watches four major cryptocurrencies and learns. The aim is to develop a proprietary prediction algorithm — not a get-rich-quick scheme, but an exercise in applied data science, machine learning feedback loops, and disciplined test-driven development. It’s a lab where models meet humility.
Saben.cl — A tabletop video game for friends and family.
Saben blends analog play with digital convenience: a tabletop-style game that’s meant to be laughed over, strategized about, and learned in minutes. It’s for the people who bring snacks, not spreadsheets, and it’s designed so a single session feels like a small, memorable night. The project reminds me why I build things: for connection.
Teve.cl — Because I wanted to watch Malcolm in the original language.
Sometimes projects begin as personal needs. Teve is one of those: a quick tool to find shows in original languages, because rewatching old favorites should come without dubbing surprises. It’s tiny, selfish, and oddly satisfying — the type of utility that makes daily pleasures smoother.
Examenconducir.cl — Study platform to reduce driving test failures (WIP).
Too many people fail their driving tests because of fragile study resources and limited testing slots. This platform bundles study materials, simulated exams, and scheduling strategies to lower failure rates and the traffic of retakes. It’s a public-good twist on edtech: better-prepared drivers mean fewer wasted hours and smoother roads.
Calisteniapp.cl — Training app for calisthenics lovers (WIP).
Calisthenics is discipline, creativity, and body awareness. Calisteniapp is a training companion for people who prefer rings, bars, and progressions over machines. Workouts, routines, and a community-driven progression system live here — still evolving but already useful for anyone chasing clean lines and stronger fundamentals.
DanTagle.cl — Archive of past works and agency collaborations.
Not everything I make is ephemeral. DanTagle collects older projects and agency pieces done with incredible teams. It’s a reminder of how collaboration stretches ability, and how agency work can both solve client problems and inform the craft of building your own products.
If there’s a thread through these projects, it’s this: I build to simplify, to learn, and to create small stages where people can try things, fail safely, and laugh a little. Some of these lives are finished; some are drafts. All of them are invitations.
