Software engineer · Founder · New York, with Dominican roots

I build software
and ship it.

I'm Pedro. I've spent about eight years writing production code for web and mobile, and I lead with building. Right now I'm shipping FinSight, an AI personal finance app I founded, and running a few AI systems of my own that do real work every day.

FinSight

AI personal finance that tells you what changed, what matters, and what to do next.

Connect your bank accounts, read only, through Plaid. FinSight tracks spending, budgets, goals, subscriptions, debt payoff, and net worth. Ask a question about your money in plain English and get an answer built from your real transactions.

I founded it and I write the code. Start on the free trial plan, then move up to Plus or Pro.

AI Content Engine

A content team that runs on my home GPU server, an RTX 5070. Every day it drafts the social posts for my companies, one per platform. A local model writes, FLUX makes the images, code checks every draft against brand rules, and I approve from Telegram.

About

The person behind the commits

Nueva York · República Dominicana

New York native. Dominican all the way through.

I'm an engineer first. I like owning the whole problem: the product decision, the code, the deploy, and whatever breaks after. Being a founder mostly means I'd rather ship it and learn than wait for perfect.

Off the keyboard, I'm Catholic, a husband and a dad. Faith and family come first, then the work. I'm competitive about almost everything, baseball included, and I will defend platano con salami as a complete breakfast.

Community

Showing up for my people

Chair, Hispanic Caucus

New York Young Republican Club

I chair the Hispanic Caucus of the NYYRC, which describes itself as the oldest and largest Young Republican club. I approach it the way I approach engineering: show up, do the work, and bring people with me.
