Señor Rosa True stories. Real life.

About Señor Rosa

I build things to learn how they work.

Señor Rosa is my little corner of the internet: part journal, part comic strip, part portfolio, and part laboratory for ideas that sounded interesting enough to try.

I work professionally in technology, but most of what you see here started with curiosity: learning a new tool, solving a real problem, telling a true story, or seeing whether AI could help turn an idea into something useful.

01 · About

Who I Am

IT engineer · Army veteran · Builder · Lifelong student

I'm an IT engineer, Army veteran, gamer, gardener, traveler, musician, and lifelong student. I'm happiest when I'm learning something new and turning that learning into something I can actually see, use, share, or hand to somebody else.

Señor Rosa is where those threads meet: technology, creativity, travel, storytelling, experiments, and the occasional idea that gets a little out of hand.

Curiosity → something real That is basically the operating system.

02 · Personal Project

Señor Rosa

AI-assisted development · Storytelling · Web experiments

I built Señor Rosa as a personal publishing platform for true stories, comics, travel, language learning, and small web experiments. It has become the place where I learn by shipping: working in VS Code, managing changes with Git, deploying through Netlify, building reusable content structures, and iterating quickly with AI as a development partner.

The point isn't pretending every experiment is a finished product. The point is taking an idea far enough that it becomes real, usable, and worth improving.

04 · Gaming Project

Mystery Madness

Overwatch · Hero powers · Build planning

Overwatch's seasonal Mystery Madness mode didn't have readily available data, so I used AI to organize and present that information in an accessible way.

The result is a hero explorer and build planner that makes the mode's powers easier to browse, understand, and experiment with.
