A letter from Km 0
Hi. I'm Victor, though on the internet most people know me as Cracksmity. I study Computer Engineering at UDG, I'm in my sixth semester, and I live in Guadalajara, which is where every line on this map begins.
It all started with a virus. My dad used to download videos from sketchy websites, and one day the computer had enough. I'd found a library that did the same thing without ads or scares, so I taught him to use it. It worked… until he wanted another format, and then another, and the notepad full of commands grew to the size of a phone book. So I thought: why not just build him his own app? A few hours with ChatGPT later, VibeLoader v1 was out. Then I wanted to download memes, and it kept growing from there.
Code is like football for me: I'm great at analyzing it and pretty bad at playing it. I learned to program in 2022 and, honestly, some days a for loop still beats me. But I always loved inventing programs; I had more ideas than hands. Agents changed that. Today the skill I need isn't typing fast: it's knowing what's worth building, who it's for, and how it has to work on the inside.
That's why this site is a map and not a list of repositories. Every line is someone: my dad, a friend, my Minecraft friends, my classmates and, sometimes, me, when I'd rather build an app than pay for one.
Away from the screen: trains, planes, F1, Atlas (yes, despite everything) and traveling more than some would call reasonable. My favorite place is still Guanajuato.
Tô em todo lugar, não dá pra controlar.
Transfer to IntelHow I got to Intel
- FIRST SEMESTEROn the way to Estadio Akron, celebrating that I got into college, I see the Intel campus. “I'm going to work there,” I tell my dad.
- SEVERAL TRIESI apply several times. Rejected in the first round, every time.
- 2026I decide to prepare for real. They call me for an interview.
- THE DAY BEFOREEstadio Akron hosts its first World Cup match. “You have to dream awake,” Jorge Vergara.
- INTERVIEWAn odyssey on public transit and a panel of experts. They ask about agents and about math.
- WEEKS LATERWhatsApp: “Your process has concluded…”. Next line: “…successfully.”
- JUL 2026First day as a Hardware Design – AI Ecosystem Enabling Intern.
What got me there
L4Oráculo
I made the agent read the documentation for the exact version before answering. Exactly what they were after: agents that don't hallucinate and read what they're asked to.
L8SistemaIVR
They asked if I felt confident with math. I walked them through the math behind the IVR.
What I do now
A lot still lives in huge spreadsheets that get reviewed by hand. I build tools that automate them and keep a record of what gets done.
When I got into college, my dad took me to Estadio Akron to celebrate. On the way we saw the Intel campus and, half joking, half serious, I told him: “I'm going to work there.”
It wasn't a straight line. I applied several times and always got rejected in the first round; for a long time I felt too green. This year I decided to prepare for real, and they called me.
The day before the interview, Akron hosted its first World Cup match, and I watched a video with a line from Jorge Vergara: “You have to dream awake.” I got to the campus after an odyssey on public transit, nerves on edge. They asked how I use agents and whether I felt confident with math. I told them about Oráculo, which reads the documentation for the exact version so it doesn't make things up, and about the math behind the IVR.
Weeks later, a WhatsApp message arrived: “Your process has concluded…”. My heart stopped. The next line said “…successfully.”
Now I do what I've always done, tools for the people close to me, just at a different scale: even at a tech company, a lot still lives in huge spreadsheets reviewed by hand, and my job is to change that.
