Elvira Rodríguez — Software Developer

About

I studied robotics engineering before moving into software — the robotics background is why I default to thinking in systems and failure modes, on the backend or anywhere else. Outside of work I throw pottery by hand, piece by piece, from Örebro, Sweden. That habit is also the reason Clay Studio exists: I wanted to track my own pieces properly, so I built the tool to do it, and it grew into the app the projects and shop on this page run on.

Clay Studio

The tool behind the ceramics below

A multi-tenant full-stack app to track pottery pieces from clay to kiln — every stage, glaze, and kiln load. Built for myself first; the gallery and shop further down this page sync from it live.

Home Server

What everything else on this page runs on

A Linux box at home runs Clay Studio, this site, and the rest — as systemd services, behind a single Cloudflare Tunnel (no ports forwarded on my router), with DNS and mail routing on the same domain. Tailscale gives me private access to dev environments from anywhere.

Pocket Diary

One line a day, private by design

A mobile diary: write a sentence today, and it surfaces what you wrote on this same day in past years. Entries are encrypted on-device (AES-256 + HMAC) behind a PIN/Face ID lock — no server, no account, nothing ever leaves the phone.

Home monitoring for one very spoiled cat

A USB webcam on a home server, streamed securely to my phone, plus the automation around it — my testbed for home-network security done properly instead of "just forward the port."

Ceramics Social

Automated, and it costs me nothing to run

Automates my weekly pottery progress posts to Instagram: I sort photos and videos into folders, a local LLM (Ollama — no API bill) writes the caption, and it publishes itself via the Instagram Graph API.

Ceramics

The hobby that started Clay Studio. Everything on my shelf below, from freshly thrown to finished; the pieces for sale are further down — email me if something in the shop catches your eye.
