Blog

Ideas, tutorials and processes

I publish analysis, tutorials and experiments about AI automation, iOS development, FinTech and technical SEO. All content is original.

The goal of the blog is to leave a trace of how I think and build: real problems, technical decisions, constraints, results and lessons for developers, clients or teams that want to apply technology with judgment.

AI automation

Real cases with n8n, LLMs, APIs and workflows that reduce manual work without losing control. I focus on architecture, maintenance and measurable results.

iOS development

Notes on SwiftUI, privacy, App Store and technical decisions from building my own apps. I include product, performance and publishing lessons.

FinTech and data

Backtesting, risk metrics and quantitative analysis explained through auditable projects. The goal is to separate intuition, data and bias.

SEO and GEO

Structure, rich data and content prepared for classic search engines and generative engines. I work on canonicals, sitemap, schema and semantic clarity.
