What it is

Water Risk Explorer is a bilingual, map-first tool that makes scattered public water data easier to explore at a specific place. Search or click anywhere in Andalucía to see flood zones, drought, reservoirs, drinking water, coastal protection, groundwater and bathing-water quality in one view.

Why I started it

I built this as the final project for Terra.do's course on AI for climate solutions, which I completed in the summer of 2026. I came to it with no expertise in water risk, and that is exactly why I picked the subject. I wanted to learn where water management data actually comes from, and building turned out to be the fastest way to find out.

What I built and learned

I brought seven public datasets into one map-based experience. The first lesson was that data is rarely consistent across regions: different sources use different methodologies, levels of detail and geographic coverage, so answering something as ordinary as “where does my drinking water come from?” takes careful wiring and judgement. The second was that presenting a result is not enough. The interface also has to explain what the result means to someone new to the subject, without flattening it for people with deeper expertise, which is why I built an optional, clearly labelled AI explanation into the map. Each source keeps its own coverage and freshness state, so missing data is never quietly presented as low risk.

What comes next

The released map covers Andalucía, and the next step is extending it across the rest of Europe. Separately, during the height of the wildfires in France and Spain, I started building Fire and Rain: a version that brings water and fire risk together, on the basis that water alone does not tell you enough about the climate risk of a place. It is still in progress and not yet released. I am also exploring the impact of data centres on water. I am always glad to hear about useful datasets or to work with people who want to take this further.

What is it?

Elephant is your memory helper. An AI markdown brain inspired on the Get Things Done process. Tell the elephant and it remembers, browse the elephant's brain, and scroll your feed to see what the elephant is thinking about!

Why I started it

The Elephant started with a simple problem: my partner and I kept forgetting the details that make life easier, warmer, and more connected. A friend would recommend a film, a restaurant, or a book. I would text it to my partner or jot it down in a note. A week later, the text was buried, the note was lost, and I could no longer remember who had recommended it or why. The same thing happened with people. I would meet someone new, learn about their work, family, interests, or stories — and by the next time I saw them, I had forgotten half of it. I wanted a simple way to remember these everyday details and connect them back to the people who matter. The Elephant helps you remember who recommended that film, whose friends were at which party, what someone does for work, and when their children’s birthdays are. Inspired by Get Things Done.

Aren't there a thousand note-taking apps?

We know note-taking is messy and personal, so The Elephant is designed to work alongside the tools you already use. You can export your Elephant brain at any time and open it in Obsidian or any markdown-based note-taking app, and if there's demand, I'd love to look into integrations into existing note tools and messaging services.

The problem

Dog owners who rely on friends and family for care face a coordination nightmare. Availability is unclear, arrangements scatter across WhatsApp threads, and someone always has to chase. I built Dogcal to make trusted dog care easier to organise — without replacing the informal relationships that make it work in the first place.

What I built and learned

I designed a lightweight scheduling system that integrates with WhatsApp and shared calendars rather than competing with them. Early testing showed that reducing coordination overhead was genuinely valuable, but the bigger opportunity turned out to be matchmaking — connecting owners within a trusted local network. That's the next phase.

01 · Rebuild

The product had reached a ceiling. Core workflows were governed by hard-coded logic, making even small changes slow, risky, and expensive to ship.

• ›Made the case for a rebuild over continued incremental fixes and got leadership aligned on the risk and rationale
• ›Scoped the technical approach and led delivery without disrupting the live product

Workflows became configurable rather than fixed, cutting the cost and risk of change.

02 · Explorer

Landscape data was locked in siloed reports, with no clear way to showcase impact. As a result, partners and donors struggled to understand, compare, or invest in landscape initiatives.

• ›Defined the need for a public-facing product, not just internal reporting
• ›Designed the Explorer and landscape profiles end-to-end
• ›Led delivery across engineering, comms and go-to-market, then continued improving the product post-launch

Turned fragmented data discovery into a guided experience, helping partners and funders to find and trust the right data across regions.

03 · Data guidance

Users struggled to find and trust the right data to complete sustainability assessments. Sources varied widely by region, and there was no clear way to know what to use.

• ›Defined the need for a system to guide users to the right data, not just store it
• ›Built recommendations based on assessment context, context and best practices
• ›Added curated crowdsourcing so users could suggest useful regional data sources

Turned fragmented data discovery into a guided experience, making it easier to find and trust the right data across regions.

What it is

Three pages sit side by side: Career, Home and Projects. You move between them sideways, like unfolding a leaflet, and scroll down within each one. The arrows at the edges and the ← → keys move between pages, and every project opens as a case study with its own link.

How it was made

It started as a hand-drawn sketch in Claude Design, which grew into the layout, colours and typography. Claude Code then turned the design into an Astro site where all the text lives in Markdown files, so updating it means editing a file. It's hosted on Vercel, which deploys every change and gives each branch a preview to review before it goes live.

Overview

The Wanderfull Supper Club is a rotating dinner series I host at home, bringing together small groups of interesting people around a shared meal. Each event has a theme — a cuisine, a conversation starter, a season — and I cook everything from scratch. It's part dinner party, part experiment in how strangers connect when the setting is right.

Why I started it

I wanted to create the kind of evening I always wanted to attend but rarely found: intimate, unhurried, with good food and conversations that go somewhere unexpected. It's also a practice in hospitality as craft — thinking about flow, balance, surprise. Not so different from product work, really.

About

MUNAY (moo-nah-ee) brings you vibrant handcrafted bags from artisan Andean villages. Made with love by women in Perú.

Why I started it

Although I am Peruvian, I did not grow up there, so spending several months living and working in Peru in 2023 was a meaningful way to reconnect with that part of my heritage. During visits to villages around Cusco, I met entrepreneurial artisan women creating beautiful handcrafted textiles and agreed with some of them to trial selling their products in the UK. The first attempt showed there was real interest in their work, but the supply chain proved more complex than expected. MUNAY became an early exploration of how these products could reach new markets, and I am proud to have started building those connections. I still have the contacts and would be happy to speak with anyone interested in taking the idea further.

What it is

Hidden Skills Decoder helps you discover the transferable skills hidden inside a hobby you're good at — the underlying capability, not the activity itself. Describe a hobby, answer a few quick clarifying questions, and get a handful of named skills: transferable, interpersonal, and work-related attributes like environment fit and domain expertise.

How it works

Each decoded hobby adds to your Strengths Map, which groups skills into themes and highlights core strengths when a skill recurs across two or more hobbies. Everything is stored in your browser, with no database, and you can export your map as Markdown at any time.
