Hi, I'm Kenny.

I build software that stays up while I sleep. I sleep very well.

I've been building software since 2018: energy-efficiency apps for an IoT company in Lima, retail integrations at ABOUT YOU, and custom software for clients through QBK LABS, my small consultancy in Peru. I studied Software Engineering at San Marcos, moved from Peru to Hamburg, and I like software that behaves the same on Monday as it did on Friday.

Still shipping.Mostly in private.

Twelve months of commits, reviews and merge requests across GitHub and GitLab. Nearly all of it lives in private repos, so the counts will have to do.

103Early Hints/ How I work

Early adopter.No regrets so far.

I've been building with AI since before it was a LinkedIn personality. These days I run several coding agents in parallel from one shared set of instructions, and I keep the decisions: what gets built, how it should feel and what ships. This site went from idea to a first version in about an hour. The polish took a lot longer, but that part was on me.

How this site got built

cat ~/.config/stack.yml

agents:: Claude Code, Codex
orchestration:: Solo
media:: fal, ElevenLabs
models:: # not pinned, see below

No models on the list, on purpose. A new one ships every week and even my agent can't keep up: half the time it swears its own model is the newest one. (It was, three weeks ago.) I pick the stack when a project starts, based on what's actually best for it that month.
