Victor is a software engineer based in Mexico City with 2,500+ contributions in the past year and 399 public repositories spanning two decades of open-source work across Nix, Scala, Elixir, Rust, Go, Emacs Lisp, and more.
He is a member of the Apache Software Foundation, an early contributor to Rubinius, and has been a core contributor to projects like Buildr and asdf-vm.
Everything I know, I’ve learned by reading others’ code. I believe in the power of sharing knowledge. I create tools and languages that empower developers by making their work more productive, reliable, and enjoyable.
Two decades of open-source engineering, 2,500+ contributions in the past year, 399 public repositories, and membership in the Apache Software Foundation. I don’t just use these tools — I build them.
Nix & Reproducibility
Author of the Dendritic Nix ecosystem — libraries for composable, context-aware configurations.
Production experience with using Nix for Developer Environments, Deployment Tooling, CI provisioning, and declarative cloud infrastructure.
Have been building the Vic’s Dendritic Ecosystem for around a year.
Also have some prototype Nix compiler and runtime based on delta-interaction nets.
Scala & Effect Systems
Special interest in effect systems and their impact on software construction and safety guarantees.
Experience on Scala ZIO, Cats Effect, and algebraic effects research.
Author of vic/nfx (Nix Algebraic effects) that recently inspired kliesli’s nix-effect
Research projects on effect systems in Rust vic/fx.rs and Go vic/fx.go
Functional Programming
Fluent in Scala, Haskell, Elixir, Rust, and Nix. Author of 30+ functional libraries across ecosystems — params (373★), expat (175★), ok_jose (101★). Pattern design, type-level programming, compiler work.
Language Implementation
Compiler and language design experience. Contributor to Rubinius VM, Ragel state machine compiler, and Fancy language. Author of katan — a logic programming language with typed concatenative effects.
I bring my years long experience and specialized expertise. In return, I look for roles that match that level:
| Domain | Technologies |
|---|---|
| Languages | Scala, Rust, Haskell, Elixir, Nix, Go, Python |
| FP & Effects | ZIO, Cats Effect, algebraic effects, monadic composition |
| Nix | NixOS, flakes, Darwin, Home-Manager, CI/CD, cloud provisioning |
| Infrastructure | Reproducible builds, dev environments, container-less deployment |
| Compiler work | Ragel, Rubinius VM, Scala 3 compiler plugins, language design |
| Leadership | Apache PMC chair, open-source community building, mentoring |
