Franco Bernal — Independent builder shipping working software with frontier AI, from Toronto.

Your website is how people decide who you are. I make sure it's unforgettable.

Working alone. Building in public.

I solve real problems
by crafting premium digital experiences.

I build alongside frontier AI models with the precision of a craftsman and the clarity that comes from real credentials. The result is clean, inspectable work that actually ships.

Most of what I make is open source — solutions that help people and push the craft forward. The list below is what's public so far.

AI made building easy. Building something people remember is still an art.

A growing list
of shipped things.

Each project is a self-contained answer to a problem I found worth solving. Different niches. Different stacks. The throughline is the method: identify, build, ship, iterate.

A free game for toddlers

Built for my own son, then opened up for every parent. Simple, safe, genuinely educational. Zero ads, zero tracking, free forever — screen time you don't have to feel guilty about.

This website

A single self-contained file, zero dependencies, zero templates. A living particle field that responds to cursor, scroll, and device tilt; chrome typography with real physical weight; an interactive portal to the project above. Built by hand and hosted openly.

Next project — in progress

Different niche. Different problem. Same method. Published openly when shipped.

Soon

Self-taught.
Still learning.

No degree — just deliberate range. Each credential is a tool I went looking for, not a box I checked. Picked across disciplines because the interesting problems live where they overlap.
