Hendrick / Hyvn't

I like building things that feel clean to use and clean to maintain. Mostly web apps, backend stuff, tools, and whatever else seems fun enough to obsess over for a while.

Usually somewhere between Svelte, Python, Rust, and a lot of tinkering.

02 / about

A bit more context, since the work only says so much on its own.

I did not want this section to read like a formal bio. It makes more sense as a few small pieces that explain where I am coming from and what I actually care about.

01 / roots

Dominican Republic -> Maryland

I am from the Dominican Republic and I am currently based in Middle River, Maryland.

A lot of my perspective comes from carrying both places with me.

02 / start

This started with curiosity

I taught myself by making random things, breaking them, and trying again until they finally felt real.

That part never really stopped.

03 / right now

School and side projects at the same time

I am studying computer science at CCBC while still building projects on my own outside of class.

I learn best when theory and actual work are happening together.

04 / what I like

Backend work, realtime things, and interfaces with some soul

I keep getting pulled toward realtime apps, backend systems, small tools, and interfaces that have some personality.

I like when software feels both useful and specific.

05 / standard

Honest work over overdesigned work

More than anything, I want the work to feel honest, useful, and not overdone.

Clean is good. Boring is not.

03 / things I use

This is the stuff I keep coming back to.

Not because it looks good on a list, but because it keeps showing up in the way I like to work.

Lower-level things I reach for when I want more control.

Rust
TypeScript
SvelteKit
Tailwind CSS
Python
Node.js
MongoDB
Drizzle ORM
Discord frameworks
CLI tooling
multi-agent flows
active systems

04 / projects

A few things I have made and still like.

Some are more polished than others, but all of them taught me something real. Open one and look around.

lang

I made this because I wanted to understand what was really going on under the hood. It gave me a reason to build the lexer, parser, and evaluator myself instead of only reading about them.

Some smaller stuff lives here.

Only the side work that does not already live in projects stays here.
