Happy 2026, everyone!
After the recent events here in Caracas, I took some time to reflect. Amidst the uncertainty, I was reminded of Ortega y Gasset’s famous words: "I am I and my circumstance, and if I do not save it, I do not save myself."
It is a reminder that we are not isolated beings, but a work in progress shaped by how we engage with our world. That is why I want to share this thought with you: No matter the circumstances, every choice you make opens a new path.
May 2026 be a year of fresh starts and growth for us all. Blessings from Caracas! 🇻🇪

I recently took part in the @Replit Mobile Hackathon. While I didn’t come out on top, the journey taught me so much about no-code mobile app development from making to publishing in appstore. Really grateful for the journey and excited to showcase what I built.
Hey! Do you feel this too? 🌞
It’s only the fourth day of spring and coincidentally the fourth day of sun where I am. But the shift is sooo tangible!
Even as we sit in front of screens and work in artificial light in our small concrete boxes, our bodies and creative energy respond to nature more than we admit
With the return of sunlight and warmth, there’s more energy and more desire to create. It feels like waking up together with nature
So here’s a gentle reminder:
✦ step outside in the first half of the day and let the sun touch your face
✦ listen to the birds and wind instead of headphones
✦ open your windows and let spring into the room
✦ pause in the evening and watch the sunset
Sometimes that’s all it takes to recharge your creative battery🔋✨
I definitely feel this. Even working mostly behind screens, a few minutes of real sunlight or stepping outside can completely reset focus and creativity. It’s interesting how much our energy shifts with the seasons.
Big thanks to Figma and the Contra team for organizing this challenge.
Thoughtfully curated, energizing, and inspiring to be part of it 🙏
