Hi, I'm Rico
Builder. Maker. AI Enthusiast.
I build things—digital and physical. Currently exploring the intersection of automation, making, and content creation.
// about A bit about me
I'm based in the Pacific Northwest, where I spend my days building AI systems and my evenings in my workshop. Half Filipino, half Hawaiian/Chinese/Portuguese—I bring a mix of cultures and perspectives to everything I create.
My current obsession? Klaus—an AI assistant that actually does things. Not just answers questions, but learns, suggests, and takes action. It's how I think AI should work.
// projects Things I've Built
Klaus AI
A proactive AI assistant that learns, suggests, and takes action. Built on Claude, running across multiple instances, coordinating via git.
Workshop Projects
Full woodworking shop with table saw, router, drill press. From floating shelves to custom furniture—building things with my hands.
3D Printing Lab
Three 3D printers running custom parts, prototypes, and functional prints. If I can't buy it, I'll design and print it.
Content Creation
Exploring TikTok and short-form video. Sharing the maker journey, AI experiments, and behind-the-scenes of building cool stuff.
