Hi, this is Miguel!

I’m a software developer and free software enthusiast from Spain. I studied Software Engineering at my home city of A Coruña, where I was also born and raised.

I consider myself a Linux enthusiast, and I’ve been using it almost exclusively since early 2020. I’ve been playing with Nix for configuring my OS lately, you can check my latest config at github which I update on github pretty frequently if you are interested in my setup.

Although I have some posts about Vim, and I’m a big fan of modal editing, I’ve been using Emacs as my text editor for years now, mainly for org-mode, and org-roam. You can check some of my notes (which are all written in org-mode) in my digital garden, and also read my emacs configuration on github.

I write most of my stuff in English, as a way to share it with more people, but I’m also confident in my Portuguese, which I learned while living in Lisbon for a short time, and of course Spanish, which is my native tongue.

As my bachelor’s thesis I worked on a Wayland compositor named turtile based in wlroots, while I was an intern at Igalia, as part of their Chromium team. While working on both this projects in C and C++ I learned a lot about systems development, and low level programing while contributing to the wider FOSS comunity.

This days you can find me working as a fullstack developer for Merlin Software, a local software consultancy in A Coruña, were I’ve been doing all sort of things, from building websites, internal tools, AI integrations for existing products and even game development.
