Portrait of Jorge Rangel

Tech & AI,from someonewho builds it.

Hi, I'm Jorge, a software engineer with 6+ years building production apps. On the side I make videos about tech and AI: for fun, to share what I learn and to collaborate with brands.

Tech & AI,without the hype.

Videos about AI tools, coding agents and building real products. Everything I show, I've tried in my own work first.

What I cover

  • AI tools that earn their place

    What's worth adopting and what's noise, tested on real work.

  • Coding with agents

    How I use Claude Code and Codex agents to review, test and ship faster.

  • Building apps end to end

    From idea to the App Store, with Wallia as the case study.

  • The engineer's career

    Lessons from 6+ years on large production teams.

Wallia

A calm personal-finance app I designed, built and shipped on my own. It tracks your money with almost no effort, so you can see where it goes at a glance.

    Your month at a glance

    Income, spending and net flow in one view. Apple Pay purchases log themselves.

  2. Wallia app screen: Every transaction in its place

    Every transaction in its place

    Import a bank screenshot and AI sorts it into categories. Or just say what you spent.

  3. Wallia app screen: Budgets that feel like freedom

    Budgets that feel like freedom

    Split a monthly budget across categories and always know what's left.

  4. Wallia app screen: Money you manage together

    Money you manage together

    Shared lists sync in real time for trips, couples and roommates.

  5. Wallia app screen: Patterns, not spreadsheets

    Patterns, not spreadsheets

    Spending mix, pace and weekly rhythm in charts you can actually read.

Engineer first.

If I explain a tool, it's because I use it.

For 6+ years I've built web applications end to end: React and TypeScript microfrontends on the front, Node.js and federated GraphQL services behind them, running on AWS.

Today I'm a Software Engineer at Globant, on a large U.S. retail platform. Outside work I ship my own products, build Claude Code and Codex agents that automate engineering work, and make videos about what I learn along the way.

Let's make somethingworth watching.

If you make a tech or AI product and want it explained honestly by someone who writes software every day, let's talk. I make videos in English and Spanish.

Ways to work together

  • Sponsored videos & integrations

    A dedicated video or a segment inside one, on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram.

  • Product reviews & launches

    Hands-on reviews of AI and developer tools, timed with your launch.

  • Talks & workshops

    Sessions on AI-assisted development for teams and events.

  • Engineering consulting

    Frontend architecture, GraphQL and AI-agent workflows.
