Hello, I'm Nereo Tech Enthusiast & Learner

Freight forwarding specialist by day, student by night, and family man always. I dive into coding whenever the Matrix glitches long enough to grant me a few free moments - usually somewhere between work deadlines, university assignments, family quality time, and the daily adventures of a middle-class man trying to keep bills paid, coffee hot, and sanity intact. Exploring the endless possibilities of technology, one "vibe coding" session at a time.

About Me

Hi, I'm Nereo - half German, half Mexican, based in Frankfurt am Main, husband, dad, and someone who somehow found himself diving headfirst into the Matrix of web development and AI (yes, I know… "Nereo" and "Neo" - destiny had jokes).

I didn't always walk the straight path. I used to drift, hang out, and waste too many nights chasing nothing. Life wasn't easy, and I didn't always make the best choices. But somewhere along the way, I decided to step out of that loop - to become someone my family could rely on, and someone I could respect in the mirror. I learned that even if you start off in the wrong direction, you can still rewrite your story and evolve.

Curiosity is my code

By day, I work full-time in freight forwarding at Frankfurt Airport, where logistics, precision, and timing rule the game. By night (or whenever life allows), I explore the worlds of web design, coding, and digital creativity - fueled by equal parts curiosity and good background music.

I'm currently studying Marketing & Digital Media, and what fascinates me most is how technology, design, and storytelling connect people. The more I learn about HTML, JavaScript, Python, and AI, the more I realize it's not just about writing code - it's about understanding how ideas come to life in a digital space.

Why this website exists

This site isn't a business - for now. It's a sandbox for learning, testing, and documenting progress. I want to be honest about where this might lead: once I've built real skills and experience, I'd like to use them to eventually step outside the 9-to-5 "Matrix." Until then, this space remains a personal, non-commercial project focused on curiosity and practice. I have to be careful what I write here. The tax office in Germany is like Agent Smith...

What I'm hoping for

This is primarily a space for me - a quiet place to learn at my own pace, keep notes, and track experiments. If you happen to stumble in and find something useful or interesting, that's great, but I'm not trying to turn this into a community hub or conversation pit.

And if some of the code looks like it was written under the influence of "vibe-coding" after a long day of work, studies, and family life - you're absolutely right.

In short

I'm someone who loves technology, storytelling, and music. I believe in evolving and improving, no matter how old I am - progress over perfection, always.

So, welcome to my little corner of the web. If you've read this far, chances are we already have something in common.

AI

In Progress

Discovering how AI can support creativity, coding, and learning. From generating design ideas to writing cleaner code, experimenting with AI has been one of the most fascinating parts of my journey. It's not about shortcuts - it's about understanding how humans and machines can think together.

Beta Version

Had a lot of fun creating this little browser game in Cursor. The agent was pretty helpful and easy to use. But I am still having some issues making it run on mobile devices and able to save the high scores. Hope I can fix it soon and watch some friends enjoying it.

GitHub & The Developer World

Current Discovery

While diving into coding and web development, I stumbled upon GitHub - and quickly realized how much it shapes the developer world. So of course, I had to check it out.

Ongoing Experiment

This very website! My first major project built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. A hands-on learning space with a design inspired by developer aesthetics and curiosity. It's where I experiment, learn, and keep track of my progress - one line of code at a time.
