Benito Lopez
Hey there. I’m a software engineer based in Italy with 10+ years of experience building web products, developer tools, WordPress and WooCommerce systems, and commercial software.
I’m currently focused on AI engineering, and my main project is ker, a minimal coding agent.
Projects
ker
A minimal coding agent. ker runs as a long-lived daemon that owns the conversation state while a thin HTTP client sends prompts to it. It has durable sessions, queued prompts, bounded tool output, and context compaction. Written in TypeScript.
Limite
A network service for probabilistic data structures. Limite is a single Go binary that speaks the Redis protocol and exposes HyperLogLog, Bloom filters, Count-Min Sketch, and Top-K.
ssnipp
A small self-hosted code snippet sharing tool written in Go. ssnipp stores and shares private snippets without relying on a third-party service.
Hotel Datepicker
A JavaScript date-range picker for hotel and booking websites. It handles minimum stays, disabled dates, check-in/check-out rules, localization, and date-range selection.
WP Hotelier
A WordPress booking plugin for hotel websites. It provides room management, bookings, rates, seasonal pricing, and hotel-specific reservation flows inside WordPress.
Uncode
A commercial WordPress theme. My work on Uncode covers backend systems, advanced customization features, WooCommerce integrations, and React components for the WordPress Block Editor.
WordPress
I’ve worked in the WordPress ecosystem for over a decade, building themes, plugins, and custom solutions. I reached Elite Author status on Envato’s marketplace with Lollum Themes, and I’m currently part of the team behind Uncode. Alongside team projects, I build and maintain my own WordPress products, including WP Hotelier.
Personal
Born in Switzerland, raised in Spain, and living in Italy. I’m a father of two. I play guitar (mostly jazz, experimental, noise, electronic, and ambient) and I read books and comics.
I’m also pursuing a BSc in Mathematics.
