I'm Bernardo, a techno-optimist who loves hacking and building things.

I'm currently designing systems that can think at Augusta Labs.

Email: bernardo[at]augustalabs.ai

Cool stuff I have done in the past:

• Scraped all Google Street View images to embed an entire city into vector space
• Reverse-engineered a BLE protocol to own my own biometrics
• Made a Nintendo 3DS run an LLM and vision model — 268MHz, 128MB RAM
• Built cool systems at Augusta Labs, my favorite being an operator-style system that crawls for pirated broadcasts during live matches
• Won a hackathon or two in university with my friends

Purpose:

• To win

Thoughts:

• There's no crisis of meaning, there's just a missing scoreboard.
• In Zelda, you never wake up asking, "What's the point of these shrines?", you pick a quest, get XP, collect tools, and push the frontier of the world. Life runs on the same logic, just without a glowing waypoint. Choose a mission, level up, and keep clearing the map.
• AI is a tractor, stop pulling the plow.
• Work for accelerators, not anchors.
