about / facts
fact 01
I'm Dani, a software engineer at MongoDB — building AI agents that help
sales teams do more with less.
fact 02
I use AI for everything: work, side projects, experiments that probably go nowhere. The
possibilities are genuinely endless and I'm not close to done exploring them.
fact 03
Built Myware because I kept saving interesting things to do but never knew what to do
with my free time. Released 21 Mar 2026 after many revisions and lost nights.
fact 04
Outside code: time with my son, reading, a good coffee, and the occasional
hike.

Save a TikTok / Reel / YouTube video — get back the
place to visit, the recipe to cook, the book to read,
the event to attend. Now with Lumi, an assistant that reads your library.

The same small workout every day with a group of friends. Two leaderboards: one for showing up, one for going hard, so beginners don't quit on day three.

A desk box that measures what I'm actually breathing: particulates, CO₂,
temperature, humidity. Hand-wired on a breadboard, build log as I go.

04
A recipe manager built around the fact that you cook the same recipe more than once,
and change it every time. Versions, variants and diffs, like code.

Tracker for Catalonia's 100-peak challenge. The peak catalog synced itself from
Wikidata; a batch job precomputed each summit's nearest neighbours.

Kids Player
A music box my son can work alone: put a figure on top, it plays.
No screen, no account, no algorithm.

AC Hub
Learns the infrared codes by listening to the remote, then speaks them back,
so the app and the remote never disagree about what the room is doing.
