Gonzalo Bulnes Guilpain

👋 Hi, I'm Gonzalo. I use he/him pronouns.

I enjoy learning, I love sharing knowledge, and I thrive when collaborating with different people, teams, and functions. Witnessing someone help someone else do something for the first time makes my day. Delivering a product that respects a need we hadn't anticipated makes my week.

I currently try to get as much of the above as possible within a product team that enables content moderation teams to operate at scale, while also guiding independent artists towards creating successful products, in one of the world largest print-on-demand websites.

Off-hours, I split my time between a couple of open-source projects and supporting my partner's design practice.

Index

• I publish code regularly on GitHub, as a way to share my thought process.
• In the past, I tried to write a blog with limited success. I learned that I prefer being able to iterate on the content I write.
• I've since played with different formats, and I am currently experimenting with publishing my own learning notes.
• Memorable Words: In the longer-term, want to create a reasonably usable Spanish word list for generating memorable passphrases. It is a slow-moving project, but one that's close to my heart. (first iteration and goals, some ideas)

Find me

I am @gonzalo-bulnes on GitHub, Gitter, and the Qubes OS forum.
