About/CV
So, you made your way into my little corner of the internet. Welcome.
I'm Lux Solari — or Luciano Laje, in realspace — a software developer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back-end mostly, some game dev, and lately, wiring AI into how I build.
I love programming, game design, and photography — film, particularly. They tend to bleed into each other more than I plan for. This is where I write about coding, shooting film, games, and life — figuring things out usually in that order, sometimes all at once.
When I'm not coding — or arguing with an AI assistant about the right approach — I'm studying photography, developing rolls in my darkroom, building little games as an excuse to learn something new, or playing League of Legends and single-player games, RPGs and race sims mostly.
