Pablo Fernández Ruiz

Software Developer

I'm a software developer focused on developer tools and data systems. I care about performance, design, and building products that feel solid and intentional, from backend to the final user experience.

I'm currently working on several projects, including Horizontables, a desktop tool for modern data engines, and I have a keen interest in web scraping.

You can find my code on GitHub, reach me on @pablofdrz, or write me to email. Always open to conversations about engineering and thoughtful product building.

Giving an Inbox to Each Agent

Password resets, invoices, and support replies still arrive by email, and my agents live on HTTP. Mailingest is the Rust mail platform I built so that an inbox costs one API call: an address whose mail shows up as a signed webhook.

Building a Better WhatsApp SDK

whatsapp-web.js runs a whole headless Chromium to act like a phone. The other door skips the browser and speaks WhatsApp's native protocol over a plain WebSocket, then hands you a raw socket and a firehose of events. whatsweb is the thin layer I built to make that socket feel like a bot.

The Distance From a Message to Your Code

The same bot, a user's message answered by code I wrote, costs a handful of lines on Telegram, a gateway and a bag of intents on Discord, and a whole headless browser pretending to be a phone on WhatsApp. Four libraries in, the pattern was clear, and the hard part was never the bot.
