Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Montevideo-based developer portfolio covering shipped games, tournament infrastructure, desktop utilities, and experimental programming projects.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

The portfolio separates shipped games from solo experiments and gives unusually specific technical context for both. VERXUS is described as a tournament system with live Firebase synchronization, organizer and viewer links, QR sharing, exports, and five bracket formats. Other entries include a Windows Claude-usage overlay that reads metrics from an API, a no-dependency C++ engine, and SupGrab, an unpublished Python/Tesseract tool for turning Blu-ray subtitle images into editable SRT files.
