I find unexpected connections in code and life.
As a Full Stack Developer at Automattic, I help power the 40% of the web that runs on WordPress. But my path here wasn't linear, and that's exactly what makes my approach unique.
After more than 8 years as a digital nomad across 42 countries, I've learned that the best solutions come from connecting seemingly unrelated dots.
What I bring to code:
- 🧠 Systems thinking shaped by software, psychology, nature and permaculture (yes, fungal networks help teach me about APIs)
- ♿ Accessibility-first development informed by neurodivergent perspectives
- 🛠️ Real-world problem-solving from years of making things work with limited resources
- 🌍 A deep belief that technology should connect and empower, not divide
Currently fascinated by:
- 🍄 How natural systems can inspire better code architecture
- 🔗 Model Context Protocol (MCP) for everything: blogging, WordPress, front-end development (because context changes everything)
- 🧩 Making the web more accessible for minds that think differently
- 💡 Finding the Freakonomics-style surprising connections in tech
- Are we underestimating junior developers?
- A short memory from la Amazonía
- I Am an Engineer
- Cocina Oaxaqueña
- Living in Wonderment
Let's connect if you're interested in:
- 🌍 The intersection of technology and humanity
- 🌱 Sustainable, accessible development practices
- 🏠 Remote work that actually works
- 🍄 Or if you just want to chat about why mycelial networks are the perfect mental model for modern web architecture
