Writing

Both ends of the stack... Fullstack?

I did eight years as web developer, mostly Java 6 and backend work, then... jQuery and AngularJS opened the door for eleven in the browser. Now, catching up with Python and AI, notes rather than tutorials — usually written while I'm still figuring the thing out. Three topics; here's what each one covers.

Front-End
2

The part of the software people actually see and touch.

The user's side of the thing. React, UI, design, and everything you can actually see.

Back-End
—

The machinery behind it, where the work happens out of sight.

The dark side of the same thing. Python, APIs, AI, and everything we sweep under the carpet.

Trajectory
1

The part where I talk about the nineteen years behind me.

Past, present, and where I'm headed from here.

    What happened between saying I would learn Python and actually starting: a move from Argentina to Spain, and an industry that changed shape while I was filling in forms.

    In 2024 I took a Tailwind template apart to learn Astro. Two years later I threw it out and built this one from scratch, around three levels of depth and one list that holds everything I write.

    • Astro
    • TypeScript
    • Tailwind
    • CSS scroll-driven animation
    • Canvas 2D
