Chispa Foundry is a small studio building software at the intersection of craft and technology. Real problems. Thoughtful tools. One spark at a time.
Each one starts as a frustration. A gap in what exists. Then the only question that matters: what if fixing this was actually well-made?
AI at work, finally explained — and productised.
One weekly email. Zero fluff. The most useful AI developments — not the hype, the signal.
Excel/Sheets debt tracker for Mexican professionals. Bola de Nieve & Avalancha, MSI tracker, peso-denominated.
100+ prompts for Mexican freelancers — CFDI/SAT, WhatsApp Business, LinkedIn ES, juntas & SOPs.
Notion template — 5 linked databases, profit margin per project, overdue alerts, proposal close rate.
The grace we sometimes forget to give ourselves.
A cozy life simulation built around your real camera roll. You buy a cottage in a small valley town and slowly discover who lived there before you — one photo at a time. Keep what matters. Release what doesn't. Frame your best moments on your apartment wall.
AI game optimizer for Steam Deck.
Reads your hardware, rewrites rendering paths for your specific device. High-end gaming on the hardware you already own.
Every product must solve a real problem and feel genuinely enjoyable to use. If it only does one, it goes back to the drawing board.
"Useful and fun are not in conflict. They are the same design problem."
Every visual choice must earn its place. If it does not aid comprehension or guide attention, it does not belong.
The brand speaks with confidence, not volume. Heavy animation and dense noise are not confidence — they are distraction.
Take a familiar problem and ask: what if fixing this was actually fun? That question changes everything.
A product in someone's hands is worth ten in a Notion doc. Real feedback beats planning in isolation.
No board. No pitch deck. The only metric that matters is whether people keep coming back.
"I started Chispa Foundry to make my crazy ideas real."
I'm Federico — a solo developer building at the intersection of industry knowledge and AI craft. Not a seasoned engineer with decades of experience. Just someone who kept bumping into problems that didn't have good solutions and decided to build them.
Chispa Foundry operates across Austin, TX and Mexico City, using AI as a creative and technical partner to move faster than any one person probably should.
The name chispa means spark in Spanish. A spark is small, directed, and capable of starting something much larger. Every product here starts as one.
Built for the long game. Each product is one step toward a body of work that proves a single idea: useful and fun are not in conflict.
Studio infrastructure, brand, and first products in active development. Neural Horizon live and growing. Tidly in final development. DeckForge in architecture.
Tidly ships on iOS + Android. Neural Horizon adds paid tiers via Stripe. DeckForge enters early access. First real users. First real revenue. The studio habit of shipping gets built.
Multiple products actively shipping. DeckForge evolves toward cross-platform hardware intelligence. Chispa Foundry becomes a name people recognize and trust enough to recommend to a friend.
Want early access to Tidly, DeckForge, or the Autopilot waitlist? Have an idea worth talking about? I read every message.
