I’m Diogo Santos. I live in Amsterdam, where I build things that connect people.

I’ve been creating since I was a kid — first with music, later with code, and now with companies. My journey has always circled around one idea: using technology and creativity to bring people closer to what matters.

Today, that journey takes shape in three projects under my venture studio, TDMC Digital:

• Prisma News — a pan-European media platform that uses AI and human curation to translate and connect Europe’s news and stories beyond language barriers.
• Away From Shallow — my melodic house label, a space for emotional, atmospheric music and my own productions as DJOGO.
• ProvenNext (past work) — explorations in software, AI agents, and rapid prototyping that continue to influence how I build today.

This blog is my open notebook. I write about the struggles and small victories of building Prisma News, experimenting with AI in software development, navigating the media industry, and keeping music alive on the side. It’s not always neat, but it’s real.

At the end of the day, I’m just trying to prove that with curiosity, focus, and persistence, you can build across industries — and still make it all fit into one life.
