Hi! I’m Miguel
I am a problem solver, hobby developer, music enjoyer, and public infrastructure enthusiast based in Minnesota, US.
You can find me under different nicknames around (e.g. Data, Ezra). I think a lot, work a lot, have existential crises, and know just enough about making websites to make me dangerous. I enjoy writing, reading, coding, listening to music, and love having a problem to solve.
If you are aching for more, check out what tools I use daily, or read my Journal.
As of January 2024, I am…
… learning about web dev with Zola.
… making simple browser extensions.
… collecting bookmarks with Raindrop.
… compiling configuration files in GitHub.
… developing a theme for Obsidian.
