About

Lazy AI description I made :b

Pedro is a product engineer who likes crossing the line between software and hardware. His current interests sit around Elixir, Go, FPGA work, VHDL, electronics, embedded systems, and the practical details that turn an idea into something measurable.

HellHat is the place where those interests can coexist: Elixir, Go, circuit-level curiosity, digital design, trading-system experiments, firmware, tools, and notes that do not fit cleanly into one category.
