I turn days into hours.

Mostly with LLMs, occasionally with coffee.

I'm Carlos Alejandro Alemán, better known as Alejololer. I'm a Software Engineer at Upstart 13, where I build LLM features that turn messy business documents into structured data and cut drafting time from days to hours. On the side I design and ship websites for small businesses that actually get found. I graduated from Escuela Politécnica Nacional and I'm a Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator.
