Hey everyone,
This is Week One of my new journey and my very first weekly journal! π₯
Yes, the camera had a mind of its own π
, and this is far from perfect. But hereβs the truth: Iβm starting anyway. This is me, raw and unedited, pushing past the awkwardness to build something real.
A little about me:Iβm Reynoso π born in the Caribbean, I'm not ashamed to say i was raised in poverty now building a life in the Netherlands. Iβm 38, a dad, a husband, and until recently, Iβve only worked in restaurants and tourism And in factories. Tech you say? Not even close. business or administrative? nope!! I've always kept my head down And just get the job done But last April, everything changed.
I traded a PlayStation 5 for my first laptop π₯οΈ, quit smoking π, and dove head-first into AI. Itβs been the single biggest shortcut for someone like me no degree, no tech background, just a lot to learn.
Right now, Iβm focusing on voice agents ποΈ, but my first real opportunity came through warm outreach. Iβm doing free work for a roofing company not with a voice agent, but by building a small app to automate their repetitive tasks. Itβs a starting point.
Tools Iβm using:
- Claude Code π€ (a game-changer for me)
- Perplexity & ChatGPT for research and prompts
- VS Code & MCP to piece it all together
This is just the introduction a hello from behind the screen. In the coming journals, Iβll share more about my projects, challenges, and the systems Iβm building.
Why am I doing this?To create a better future for my family. To grow my own dream π±, not just help grow someone elseβs.
Thank you for being here at the start.Your support means everything.
Letβs make it happen. πͺ
