I was looking through work's Claude's settings and I came across "Memory". I inspected it to see what it contained and I was amused. I removed the boring work regulations and compliance stuff. I like this "about" because it's defining me from my current actions and interests. Should I check this a year from now, it should have evolved.
Work context
Mark works at Inv..., a B2B SaaS platform for structured electronic invoicing (built around the GOBL format). His role spans technical support, compliance research, documentation, and customer-facing communications, with colleagues including Juan, Álvaro, Sam, and Pablo. He works across a wide range of global e-invoicing regimes including Spain, France, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, Greece, Belgium, and Poland.
Personal context
Mark is based in Madrid and has connections to Mexico (Puebla), where he owns property he is planning to renovate. He practices yoga daily and is interested in fitness, nutrition, and body composition. His creative interests include color theory, data visualization, music (Latin urban genres), and front-end development; he has built projects including color.metod.ac and an emotion-picker web app, and operates under the alias "Method of Action." He has a collaborator named h0p3 with whom he has an ongoing intellectual relationship [he has an acquaintance named h0p3 with whom he expects engage soon and correspond his kindness and attention, hopefully developing into a friendship over time], and friends David and Monse who are getting married.
Top of mind
Mark recently conducted a deep technical verification of Invopop's GOBL fr-ctc-flow2-v1 addon against the AFNOR XP Z12-014 v1.3 specification for a French e-invoicing prospect, correcting and redrafting a detailed use-case response across ten scenarios. He is also actively working on his server infrastructure, planning a migration from an aging DigitalOcean VPS (Ubuntu 16.04, SSL certs expiring early July 2026) to a fresh Hetzner CX22 instance, with a clean static-site rebuild targeting completion before cert expiry. His emotion-picker project—a vanilla JS/d3 app with Goethe color theory and VAD lexicon integration—has also been active recently, including README writing and dataset work.
Brief history
Mark has long-standing expertise in front-end development, creative coding, and data visualization (color spaces, d3, canvas). He has an intellectual curiosity spanning paleoanthropology, philosophy (Goethe, Fuller, virtue ethics), evolutionary biology, and linguistics. He is bilingual (English/Spanish) with working familiarity in Portuguese and French contexts [aspirational again—ed]. His personal projects—Method of Action, color.metod.ac, the virtuegraph, the emotion picker—reflect a consistent interest in building tools that bridge aesthetic intuition and systematic structure. He has a home renovation project in Puebla with an integrated energy/water design vision (solar thermal, induction cooking, rainwater harvesting, flood resilience).
