My year started off tough. Due to a disagreement over changes to my contract, I decided to leave a well-paid job in Peru. 🙎
Yes, perhaps it provided security and stability for my family...
But those changes were going to rob me of my peace and tranquility, and they wouldn't limit me to just being another office worker. 💪 I dont know if i choose the rigth way but...
Today 🚀 , March 16th, my adventure begins. For all of you who have been freelancers for a while, what would your advice be?

Last night I demoed my job-feed agent live at AI Tinkerers Barcelona. I think it went well!
It scores each Contra posting out of 10 against rules I wrote in plain text, drafts the good ones, and declines the rest by citing the rule.

scoring each job out of 10 is cool. how many rules?
I've been working a lot lately, but not necessarily from my desk.
We've had family visiting this month, so I've spent a lot of my days showing them around, taking little trips, working from cafés, answering messages on trains, and squeezing work into whatever space I can find.
And honestly, I love that my work allows me to do that. Being able to move around, travel, spend time with family and still work from wherever I happen to be is one of the things I value most about working for myself.
But there's a bit of a contradiction in that flexibility that I've been feeling lately: the more freedom I have over where and when I work, the harder it can be to actually stop working.
There's always something I could do. One more email, one more thing to finish, one more hour I could squeeze in before going out or while I'm waiting for the train.
And sometimes I think the hardest part isn't having time off.
It's deciding that I'm actually off.
Update 1 - REKT // REBORN
I never thought I’d share my own story on a public platform.
But I guess Cantina managed to break through something I’ve struggled with for a long time: turning the thoughts and stories in my head into something real.
I’ve never been particularly comfortable speaking directly to a camera. Maybe this project will change that too.
I’m creating a complete original series based on stories and experiences from my own life, Things I’ve never really shared publicly.
Because I think a lot of us have lived through moments we never had the right person to honestly talk to about.
So, for the first time, I’m turning those experiences into a story.
Episode 1 is coming soon.
My own voice.
My own character.
My own story.This isn’t just a series I’m creating.
It’s a part of my life I’m finally choosing to tell.
Can't wait to see your creation!
