A bit of me
Hi, I'm Guille. Good to have you here.
I'm a software engineer, and I like building things people actually use - platforms, tools, workflows, and the occasional experiment that exists just because I wanted to see if it would work. Most of what I've -digitally- built over the years lives on this page.
Away from the keyboard I'm usually spending time with my family, doing some air photography, or building furniture for the house that nobody asked for.
I also write Refactored, a short weekly newsletter that sums up the tech and science stories worth knowing about, in the time it takes to finish a coffee.
If something here catches your eye, or you have a project in mind, get in touch, I'd love to hear about it.
