hey, i'm alvaro

cs engineering student @ university of bath. co-founder of social gravity. i like building things that work in the real world.

what i'm up to:

  • building Social Gravity - the licensing layer for human identity. brands license a real person's face and voice, and every use leaves a receipt anyone can check
  • co-founded MCA Counselling - connecting international students with study-abroad peers across UK, US, and EU
  • balance systems lead @ Team Bath Autonomous Sailing (with DRIFT Energy)
  • project manager @ Team Bath Drones - 19-engineer UAV team for Design, Build & Fly
  • contributing to open source

open source, merged upstream:

things i build with:

Python C/C++ Go Java Bash MATLAB SystemVerilog

PyTorch OpenCV FastAPI Docker Arduino ESP32 KiCad

some projects:

  • agent-os - text your server: phone-driven Claude Code agent on a $6 VPS, with a fail-closed approval gate on spend/deploy/destroy
  • clockwork - a tiny transformer groks modular addition, then the learned circuit (a few fourier features on a circle) is read back out of the weights
  • catena - open, cited, verbatim corpus of the catholic tradition with a citation graph and an MCP grounding layer that cites or refuses
  • deckpeek - self-hosted pitch-deck tracking: time per slide, scroll depth, drop-off, re-opens
  • yt-innertube - fast, cookieless youtube audio and stream extraction for deno (yt-dlp fallback, ffmpeg stream-copy)
  • growing-nca - growing neural cellular automata. in memory of Miguel Angel Blanco

also:

  • competed at BUCS 2026 powerlifting. 582.5kg total (210 squat / 140 bench / 232.5 deadlift)
  • languages: english + spanish (native), german (fluent), turkish (conversational)
