I am Daniel. I care about the whole SDLC, not just the part where you type — which is an unusual thing for a developer to say, and the reason my work looks the way it does.
At GS1 México I built Naui, an AI agent with RAG and 71 MCP tools that unifies a dozen internal platforms into one conversational interface and now answers around 200 messages a day. I architected the billing portal that consolidated more than 10,000 records out of systems that did not talk to each other, and migrated business-critical services from C# to Python/FastAPI — one of them from ten minutes to under one.
Since August 2026 I own the DevSecOps governance for those platform products. The pipeline is built by an external vendor; I control the flow and I write the rules the development vendors work to — branching strategy, pull-request approval, naming conventions, SLA guidelines — with SAST wired into GitHub so a vulnerability surfaces on the pull request instead of in an audit six months later.
Alongside that I run Be Aliens, the consultancy I founded — software, web services, branding and AI agents for businesses in Mexico. And I ship my own products: Suzuri, a local-first encrypted notebook that doubles as a knowledge base for local LLMs; Noudable, a diagram builder that turns raw SQL or JSON into something you can keep editing; Pixelars, a pixel-art studio. Building them is how I stay honest about what is actually hard.
Since 2017 I have had the experience of getting something to work that had no business working. That is still the part I am after.
The constraint is the point — no lenses to hide behind, so the frame has to do the work.
I picked it for the physical cost and for the shot — the one skill that does not care how hard you tried.
Fortnite, for the aim and the survival read rather than the grind. Less of it these days.
An article is not learning until it has been used on something real. That loop — read it, ship it, keep the part that held — is most of how I got here.
