Computer science engineering student at UC Chile. I like building careful, useful software — lately crasp, a local-first security guardrail for AI coding agents.

About

I'm studying Computer Science & Engineering at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, where I rank 59th of 829 students in my generation. Before university I spent a year at Shiplake College in the UK and graduated from The Grange School in Santiago, where I was selected as a Prefect.

Teaching runs through most of what I do — I help run UC's thousand-student introductory programming course and spent two years tutoring school students in maths and science. Explaining something clearly is still the best test of whether I understand it.

Local-first security guardrail for Claude Code. Intercepts every file operation and shell command an AI coding agent makes and blocks anything that violates your policy — before it happens. No cloud, no tracking. Published on npm as @crasp/cli.

TypeScript · Node.js · CLI

clipchrono

Creator & maintainer

A macOS menu-bar clipboard with memory — searchable history, folders for the snippets you keep forever, and instant paste anywhere with a shortcut. Everything stays on your Mac. Published on npm as clipchrono.

Private build

Personal project

A personal operating system for daily life — dashboards, tasks, and finances, managed with AI agents. Built for my own everyday use, which keeps the feedback loop honest.

Beyond code

Before software, competition. Racing taught me how to prepare, lose, adjust, and show up again — most of what I know about discipline comes from a start gate.
