Where I'm from
I was born in Málaga in 2004, but I barely spent any time there. Soon after, my parents took me to Shangkou, in Qingtian, my grandparents' village and where my parents are from. I lived there until I was two or three, then came back to Spain, to Águilas, in Murcia. My cousins used to take me to the library there, and I'd come home with books; that reading is a big part of why Spanish always came easily. In 2013 we moved to Ribarroja, near Valencia. Valencian was hard the first year, and after that it wasn't.

What I do
I'm a full-stack developer at Wegrant: Vue on the front, Django behind it, Azure and n8n around it. Before that I spent a few years at EBHealth3. Both jobs were about the same thing: taking something that's harder than it should be and making it easier for the people who deal with it. I don't always manage it, but it's the kind of problem I want to work on.

Off hours
There isn't much free time at the moment. When there is, I read, and I write about some of the books in the journal. Or I take the camera out, less often than I'd like; one frame from each trip ends up in photographs. And once a week the MX-5 comes out of the garage for a drive to wherever I feel like going.
