Engineer & Technical Curator
Now
This is my now page.
It's May 2026. I'm married to the wonderful Noelia. We're living in Gran Canaria with our 5-year-old mixed Perro Majorero, Bowie 🐕.
I'm doing lots of things (maybe too many!)
My main things right now are NativePHP and Bifrost.
If you'd like my input consulting on mobile apps or Laravel, you can hire us!
I'm trying to blog a bit more intentionally and getting back into writing things that aren't just work/tech related.
