About Antonio Rodríguez Martínez
Systems builder. Technical program manager. Father. I write, build, and create.

I build systems — digital, emotional, spiritual, and physical.
I'm a technical program manager, software architect, and developer with over a decade of experience building scalable products. I've founded companies, led teams, and shipped software used by millions. Now I split my time between building tools and raising my kids.
I'm also a father, artist, martial artist, mentor, and the founder of Strong Hands, Soft Heart — a brand devoted to practical strength, emotional depth, and sacred self-reliance.

I've also built some meta-tools to understand my own creative patterns. The 🧠 Brain Science section analyzes my writing cadence, topic evolution, and intellectual journey through data visualization. The 🏷️ Tag Management page provides insights into how I organize and categorize my thoughts — a window into my mental filing system. I've also created 💬 API Documentation with development tools including a curated collection of Stoic philosophy quotes for personal use and blog integration.
