Hello world !
About me
I am a self-taught web developer with experience in various technologies focused on design, interaction, and immersive experiences.
Since the age of fifteen, I have been producing music under the name "Grid". My preferred genre is downtempo, which incorporates Latin and African rhythms and flows.
Another passion of mine is creating light immersive installations. Together with my partner, Daniel Marcial, a mechatronic engineer who graduated from UNAM, we have been designing and creating light immersive sculptures and installations for brands and artists, using "neopixel led strips" as our primary material.
Immersive artist
Illuminv
This is the name we have given to our project of creating immersive experiences by programming LED strips inside lamps.
The project was born with the idea of revolutionizing brand marketing by offering consumers a new perspective on how products can be sold, by taking them inside a futuristic piece of art. We use big brands (our customers) to finance new technologies within art.
After working with brands such as Porsche, Adidas, TikTok, Hilton Hotels, and more, as well as music festivals, art collectives, and independent artists, we decided to take Illuminv to a whole new level and use our experience and materials to create live acts for ourselves.
Our objective is always to innovate in the field of art and explore new ways to communicate our feelings and thoughts through the tools provided by new technologies.
More about...
Grid
This music project is heavily influenced by the Tron movie and Daft Punk soundtracks.
It is a way for me to express myself through the communicative power of music. I studied audio engineering at the SAE Institute, where I gained an introduction to the audio world and its various applications, from movie sound editing to recording, mixing, and mastering my own music.
I use this project as a platform to showcase new technologies that I have been experimenting with and integrating into my music. Light is a key aspect and the face of this project. As I mentioned before, the futuristic and immersive world of Tron inspires me greatly, and I strive to recreate that same vibe in every place where I play my music.
Web dev
I began creating simple prototypes to tackle daily challenges in practicing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Once I started learning WebGL, I was amazed by the experiences I could create. So I began practicing with my Three.js course and the challenges it presented to me.
After gaining some experience in 3D modeling and shaders, I landed my first online client. It was a toilet paper company that was seeking a straightforward app to showcase their product.
From there, I realized that I could create more interactive examples on Three.js for clients as a freelance developer, so I started doing just that.
I continued developing my website, which is taking me a lot of time, but I'm learning a great deal about Next.js, JS classes, Pug.js, CMS, and React in the process.
All of my progress and artwork is available on GitHub for anyone interested.
