About 2024-02-08 true

Hi! I'm Miguel—a problem solver, hobby developer, music enjoyer, and public infrastructure enthusiast. I live in Minnesota, also known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" for having over 14,000 bodies of fresh water. I know… it's silly. 😅

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 Public Journal.

As of February 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.

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.
