Hi, I'm Elber — a senior architect shaping healthcare software at ModMed by day, and a quiet maker of cozy games on the side.

A cozy bullet-heaven held together by light.
You play the Keeper. A swarm of moths follows you through a sleeping forest — the lanterns you light keep the night gentle, and the night, in turn, keeps the moths. 1–2 players, local co-op. Browser demo available.
I've been writing software for a living since the days when "deploying" meant SCP and a prayer. On GitHub since 2009, I've shipped production code in Ruby, Elixir, Go, TypeScript, and — most recently — GDScript.
What I care about hasn't really changed: clear boundaries between things, code that's kind to the next person, and tools that get out of your way. Lately that's also meant exploring how AI changes the way we plan, write, and review software — running the same prompt through different models to see how they think.
Outside of work, I'm slowly building Lanterns, a cozy game in Godot 4, and a couple of smaller things you'll find below.
▸ Building
Lanterns — v0.4 milestone
▸ Reading
"A Philosophy of Software Design", again
▸ Tinkering
Multi-model code review pipelines
▸ Listening
Mostly ambient, mostly quiet
Field notes on shipping software and games where the model is a real collaborator. Opens with how Lanterns went from a one-sentence pitch to a Steam-bound game.
The same prompt — "build a fancy, responsive Sudoku" — given to Claude Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku. Three independent takes, plus the timing and token data behind each run.
A bilingual step-by-step companion for first-time B1/B2 tourist-visa applicants in Brazil. No backend, no tracking — your progress stays in your browser.
Terraform module that manages apex DNS records on DigitalOcean for a handful of personal domains — including this one.

I'm always happy to hear from people building thoughtful things — drop a line, or find me in the usual places.
