+compartir: true
+---
+
+Hello, my name is Miguel Pimentel. I am a self-taught hobby developer with too many ideas and not enough time. I was born in the Dominican Republic, and I currently live in Minnesota, US.
+
+I suffer from a chronic case of curiosity, which leads me to learn and do many interesting things like:
+
+- …designing bike trails and residential roads in AutoCAD Civil 3D.
+- …creating my own [browser extensions](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/17772574/).
+- …teaching [ESL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_as_a_second_or_foreign_language).
+- …learning web development and computer programming.
+- …getting licensed as a Firefighter.
+- …getting certified as Emergency Medical Technician.
+- …inspecting public road construction projects.
+- …working in a construction materials laboratory.
+
+## Work Experience
+
+As an Assist. Contract Administrator for [Metro Transit](https://www.metrotransit.org/), I oversee projects through their installation, construction, and commissioning phases. On a day-to-day basis, I manage multiple projects that tie in one way or another to the public transportation system of the Twins Cities' Metro Area in Minnesota.
+
+With a little over 10 years of experience in public construction, I have amassed a number of unique projects that cover many different fields. It all started when I got my first job as a Civil Engineering Technician for a contracting company near my university. I was at the time attending [INTEC](https://www.intec.edu.do/) while pursuing a Bachelor's in Civil Engineering. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish my college education due to personal problems.
+
+Nevertheless, today I thrive having experience in not only public infrastructure, but technology, electrical, rail, and bus related projects as well.
+
+## Reaching Out
+
+Here are some places you can find me on the web. You'll probably be able to find me in other places too, provided you look hard enough.

+Notes that one way or another, encourage me to be better, to sit down for less time, to be more active, etc.
+
+## Procrastination
+
+1. Shower in the morning.
+2. Do not multitask—our brain is single-threaded.
+3. Turn your daily habits into a game.
+4. Get some movement in before starting work. Go for a walk, a short bike ride, something outside.
+5. Tiny habits deliver big results in a year.
+6. If you want to change, start with the type of content you consume.
+7. Stop obsessing over productivity hacks and actually start working on your backlog.
+8. Have no "Zero-Days." Get something, anything at all done everyday. No matter how small.
+9. Don't oversleep, wake up at a standard time each workday, and start work at a standard time each day.
+10. Stop watchin the news.
+11. Eat the Frog. Identify one challenging task (the frong), and complete it first thing in the morning (thus eating it).
+12. Fix and maintain a healthy sleep schedule.
+13. It doesn't need to be perfect, it does need to be started.
+14. [[./Consistency|Consistency]] is more important than intensity.

+> **Forgetful Notes** is created using [Quartz](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz), hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/), deployed with [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/), and facilitated by the GitHub [Publisher](https://github.com/ObsidianPublisher) plugin for [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/). If interested, you can browse the [source](https://github.com/semanticdata/forgetful-notes) code.
+
+## Background
+
+Forgetful Notes has gone through many changes. I have not been shy about moving from technology to technology as I learn new things. Coming across the world of [[./Static Site Generators|Static Site Generators]] was a game changer. I have ran my notes through [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/), [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/), [MkDocs](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/), and most recently [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/).
+
+However, this site is not specifically built with any of the aforementioned. Instead I have opted to follow in the footsteps of [Jacky Zhao](https://github.com/jackyzha0) and created my [[./Digital Garden|Digital Garden]] using the new fully rewritten [Quartz](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz)—a set of tools that helps you publish your digital garden and notes as a website for free.
+
+## Technology
+
+All content for the site is written in [[./Markdown|Markdown]] within [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/)—an extensible, flexible note-taking app. To export the notes from Obsidian, I rely on the [GitHub Publisher](https://github.com/ObsidianPublisher) plugin.
+
+The [source code](https://github.com/semanticdata/forgetful-notes) is hosted in [GitHub](https://github.com/). From here we use [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) to build and deploy the site to [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/).
