I’m Fonsi. I turn coffee into distributed systems.

My name is Alfonso (Fonsi) Hernández. I discovered my passion for coding during my first semester of Software Engineering back in Venezuela. I love how absorbed I become when building and prototyping.

I began building websites at 11 and once tried fixing my mom’s Windows Vista, thinking I had broken her laptop. At 18, friends from church hired me as the first developer for their Panamanian startup. I left my café job and have been dedicated to software ever since.

Last year (2023), I pursued an AI startup during nights and weekends with a Y Combinator match. It became one of my favorite experiences, where I not only learned a lot but also felt an incredible thrill while building. It’s that magical moment when everything clicks, and your vision starts to come alive.

Today, I’m leading a team and building a B2B SaaS company based in Switzerland. In my free time, I’m earning certifications in Azure, business analysis, and applied AI, preparing for my next startup journey.
