I build the systems behind the news.
Publisher, web developer and designer. I run bilingual newsrooms across Mexico, the U.S. and Canada — and build the AI tools, websites, stores and print pipelines that keep them moving.
Most publishers hire out their technology. I build it. From the first source to the final printed page, every tool, site and workflow in my newsrooms is designed by the same person who edits the stories.
Editorial instinct, engineering discipline.
Where journalism, design and code meet — so an idea can go from first source to finished page, on screen and in print.
Editorial & Publishing
Editor and publisher of Gringo Gazette North. Editing, rewriting, fact-checking and SEO headlines for a daily web cycle and a print edition every two weeks.
Web Development
Custom WordPress work for busy news sites, plus full web apps: ad systems, REST API integrations, typography, performance and deep debugging.
AI Newsroom Tools
Apps on the Claude API that scan trusted sources, surface stories and generate excerpts, metadata and social posts — so reporters spend time reporting.
Print Production
Web-to-print editing, automated Word-to-InDesign layout and pre-press proofing, so every issue goes to press clean and on deadline.
Ad Sales & E-commerce
Self-serve ad stores, print ads built to read on newsprint, web banners and placements that turn readers into revenue.
Digital Products
From idea to launch: product design and development for new platforms, like an early-access learning app for families and schools.
Code, sites & AI tools
Layout, ads & the press
Publications I run. Products I've built.
Gringo Gazette North
A bilingual English–Spanish newspaper for Baja California's expat and visitor community, printed every two weeks and distributed in Mexico and the U.S.
Gringo Gazette
News for Baja California Sur's expats and tourists. I develop and manage the website and support research, proofing and the print edition.
Gringo Gazette Ad Store
A self-serve storefront where advertisers book print ads, web banners, email blasts, social posts and advertorials — with cart, checkout and order history.
BuzzSpell
A spelling platform for parents and teachers: engaging activities tailored to each child, with progress tracking that shows their skills growing.
Newsdesk
A newsroom app on the Claude API: it checks curated sources, finds fresh stories, hunts for more sources on demand and writes excerpts, meta, social posts and categories.
Meridian Source
Local news for Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, in Canada — same playbook, different border.
Web-to-Print Pipeline
Proofed Word articles become a structured InDesign file in one step — one story per page, styles applied — while an editing layer condenses web stories to print length.
One pipeline, from tip to press.
Every step designed, automated where it helps, and checked by a human where it matters.
Source
AI scans trusted outlets and surfaces what's new.
Research
Story angles, extra sources and local context.
Edit
Rewriting, headlines and house style, in two languages.
Verify
Fact-checks with a clear red / yellow / green risk call.
Publish
WordPress, newsletter and social, with SEO built in.
Layout, ads and proofing for the printed edition.
A one-person newsroom stack.
I'm the editor and publisher of Gringo Gazette North and part of the wider Gringo Gazette network, covering life, news and tourism on both sides of Baja California — and, through Meridian Source, in western Canada.
I design and build the technology behind it: the websites, the ad store, the AI tools that find and package stories, and the automations that send them to print. And I still read every page before it goes out.
Let's build something that ships.
I work with publishers, advertisers and businesses across Mexico, the U.S. and Canada. Write in English or Spanish.
