Writer · Sculptor
Stories carved from silence.
Sculptures breathing with weight.
Intimate worlds built in brief spaces — where every word earns its place.
After her mother's death, Lena finds a jar of salt in the kitchen — one her mother had been filling, grain by grain, for forty years. She does not know what it means. She is afraid to ask.
The old clockmaker repairs timepieces nobody comes to collect. He lines them on the shelf anyway — tick by tick, a chorus that keeps him from disappearing entirely.
Marco crosses the border speaking no English, carrying only a photograph and the way his grandmother taught him to fold dough — a gesture that survives every translation.
Material given intention — stone, bronze, and clay shaped by presence and by absence.
Alan Hurtarte is a Guatemalan software engineer, builder, and creative thinker who blends technology with artistic exploration. With a strong background in full-stack development, he has worked extensively with Laravel, React, and modern AI systems, focusing on creating practical software products and scalable digital businesses.
His work often centers on turning complex ideas into simple, useful tools. Beyond technology, Alan is drawn to creative expression — writing fiction and reflective pieces that explore human experience, structure, and meaning, often with a thoughtful and analytical voice.
He also experiments with sculpture and hands-on artistic projects, working with materials like metal and mixed media to create physical forms that contrast with his digital work.
Whether building software, shaping stories, or crafting objects, Alan approaches every project with curiosity, precision, and a desire to understand how things work — then make them better.
