My name is Hector Madrigal and this is my very own website! Not only have I written everything you can find here, but I also built the website from the ground up (sometimes with developer help). Most people know me by my screen name ‘hXc Hector’ or my cosplay channel name ‘Hekuta-Kun,’ which is a Japanese version of my first name. I am a video and text editor, tech enthusiast, cosplayer, streamer, YouTube partner — or some might just cram a lot of that into the term ‘digital influencer.’ I’m also for hire if you need any sort of tech advice, website building, video editing, text editing, or help starting your social media. Contact me using the form below.
People who want to partner up for a video, photo shoot, or something of that nature can also contact me using the same form. I don’t ask for money when it comes to collaborations.
