I'm Victor, a product engineer and interaction designer, fifteen years in. I started my career in satellite engineering. Since then: sensor networks, robots, Android, frontend, design systems, backends, and a lot of design in between. In the AI era, generalist is probably the right word for it.

Right now I'm building a dark factory for my own projects. Forgejo is the control surface. The agents have their own machines with root. Work enters as an issue, they build, they open the PR. I review and merge. Recurring jobs run weekly to keep every project fresh on its own.

My design work changed the same way. Rough sketch in, agents compose the view from a design system they are not allowed to leave, audit catches the drift. Generative UI too. LLM Party (https://llmparty.pixeletes.com) is where those experiments go, along with the rest of my LLM ones.

Looking for: a product team building with agents, where range across design, frontend and backend counts as an advantage.

I'm Victor, a product designer who writes production code, fifteen years in. I can carry the backend and I have led teams, but I engage most with the user-facing parts. I'm most useful where design and build are the same job: 0-to-1 products.

Recent side work: LLM Party (https://llmparty.pixeletes.com), a set of LLM experiments, and SketchJam, a multiplayer creative-coding party game.

A similar thing happened to me back in the day when Wi-Fi was still new.

I joined an open network and it turned out to be a law firm. All their computers were on a Samba network with full C: drives shared. I wrote README.txt files on their drives telling them about the issue, but after some time it was still the same.

Then I went directly to the place to talk to them and also with the idea I could land my first job fixing that mess. But... They got incredibly angry with me, since they claimed they had some very good and expensive contractors taking care of their computers and network, and that I had basically broken in.

I left the place quickly...

Hi HN! I've been working on a series of small experiments that use LLMs under the hood.

For the first one, I made a typical chatbot UI but with a twist: you can enable a mode that writes the user interactions on your behalf. Peak laziness!
