anti-intellectualism and the political carnival
on markets that are not capitalism, ladies applauding conquistadors, trumpists discovering Palestine, religious contradictions, and the exhaustion of thinking in public.
Independent software workshop · Guadalajara
Tools for agents. Essays for humans.
I build local-first systems that make software agents more capable, observable, and accountable. I also write about literature, psychoanalysis, painting, politics, and the things no tool can resolve.

One connected practice
A toolchain for work that has to prove itself.
The projects are designed as a system: frame the work, coordinate context, verify behavior, and keep the runtime legible. Each tool stays useful alone; together they close the evidence loop.
01
Frame the work
bob
Turn a small product contract into a deterministic, reviewable foundation with explicit ownership.
02
Coordinate context
cortexmcphub
Keep goals, evidence, memory, and MCP infrastructure coherent across long-running agent sessions.
03
Verify behavior
cairntraceglyphrun
Run browser and terminal behavior contracts against real interfaces and preserve the resulting evidence.
04
Operate locally
monitortinyvaultfile.cheaplocal-agent
Observe the machine, protect secrets, retain artifacts, and run agents without surrendering the whole workflow to a cloud service.
Live directory
The workshop extends beyond the featured build graph.
The opening index shows one active toolchain. This is the complete public deployment map: agent infrastructure, developer tools, products, libraries, and experiments you can use now.

Long-form notes where software gives way to art, language, politics, exile, and the unconscious. Written in English, Spanish, and Russian.

About this practice
Software needs evidence. Writing needs pressure.
I am a developer and writer based in Guadalajara. The software work is concerned with durable agent systems; the archive follows literature, psychoanalysis, painting, and political life wherever they touch the same nerve.
