Why I Built builds.software — and What I’m Building Next
Built my own space: no ads, no feed, just soul + software. A digital forge for legacy, code, and craft. Welcome to builds.software.
Welcome to builds.software — the digital forge of Antonio Rodriguez Martinez. I just released v2+ of my personal website and I’m stoked! This is not just a personal site. It’s a terminal window into a life of experimentation, resilience, design, and code. Every pixel, repo, and line of text reflects years of hard-earned lessons— from startups to breakdowns, from poetry to product launches.
What You’ll Find
- Writing—Technical insights, philosophical explorations, and legacy documentation
- Projects—Software, hardware, and human systems built with care and curiosity
- The Stack—A living record of the tools and technologies I trust
- Principles—A public ledger of what I stand for, and why
Who I Am
- 🐺 Warrior(lol) of many roles: TPM, coder, mentor, dad, poet, craftsman
- 🪵 Builder of legacy projects like Strong Hands, Soft Heart
- 🛠️ Fixer of broken things—technical, emotional, and systemic
Why This Site Exists
Because social platforms aren’t enough. Because algorithms don’t deserve my best work. Because I needed one place to build in public, on my own terms.
