About Me

TL;DR — Alex Rivera, an indie developer who ships small web apps and games and writes about the craft. This is demo content for the vbrain engine — a fictional persona, not a real person.

The 60-second version. Deeper context lives across career/ and projects/.

Who

• Alex Rivera, 29, based in a mid-size city. Backend engineer by day, indie maker by night.
• Comfortable across the stack: TypeScript, Go, Postgres, and a lot of Cloudflare Workers. Learning graphics programming for fun.
• Off-screen: bouldering, film photography, and losing at chess online.

How I work

• One project at a time. Ship something small every month, write about what broke.
• Build in public — a devlog, screenshots, and honest post-mortems.
• Prefer boring, durable tech and tiny dependency trees.

Why this file exists

Every note in a vbrain brain follows the same shape (an # H1, a > TL;DR blockquote, then short sections). That consistency is what lets the engine — search, the graph, the MCP server — treat the whole thing as one queryable knowledge base. See CONVENTIONS.md.
