# Hi, I'm Vicente

I build products, turning whatever idea I can't stop thinking about into something that exists and someone can use.

Endlessly curious. Relentlessly building.

Building v0

## About

0 to 1 is the part I actually love. Creating something that users or teams can use, starting an engineering team from an empty repo, taking a product line from idea to the surface customers use. That is the work I keep choosing. I work across the whole stack because at version 0 there is no other half to hand off to.

I follow my pathological curiosity until there is a product in front of me. What survives past v0 is always the same: small composable pieces, short feedback loops, and no trust in anything that only works in happy paths.

The goal is to materialize the abstract and make it both useful and beautiful. Useful without beautiful gets abandoned; beautiful without useful never gets used.

I'm also a computational neuroscience enthusiast and researcher, drawn to the frontier where neural systems, cognition, and modern technologies start explaining each other.

  • React / Next.js
  • Python
  • Prisma/Drizzle
  • Postgres
  • AI SDK

## Principles

The same vectors run through what I build and how I live: stay curious, preserve freedom, cut noise, keep rhythm, verify against reality.

> My mission: make everyone, starting with myself, autonomous — able to resolve their own problems with their own skills, judgment, and resources.

### Build vectors

  • - Frontier curiosity

    Assume the current map is incomplete, then go find what it leaves out.

  • - Reality > speculation

    Start from observed state: read the file, inspect the output, reproduce the behavior, then decide.

  • - Smallest complete move

    Solve the real problem with the least complexity that fully solves it. No decorative abstractions, no scope drift.

### Life vectors

  • Autonomy

    Resolve life from your own skills and resources instead of waiting on someone's permission.

    • agency
    • self-reliance
    • skills

  • Curiosity

    An abnormal appetite for questions keeps me at the frontier, where new systems, ideas, and people show up first.

    • frontiers
    • questions
    • novelty

  • Freedom

    Own my time, location, priorities, and people. Without freedom, every other value becomes conditional.

    • time
    • location
    • choice

  • Independence + leverage

    Build assets I own so I am not dependent on jobs I do not. Manage the risk instead of gambling it.

    • ownership
    • 80/20
    • risk
