Hi! I'm Abel, a Full Stack Developer
That guy in the picture is me, back in 2008, before I began to code. I come from the beautiful Canary Island La Palma but for several years now, I have made Austria my home.
About Me
I'm passionate about creating innovative solutions mostly using languages like Python and TypeScript. I build robust, well-tested applications and follow Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices.
My Journey
In my more than 10 years as a Full Stack Developer, I've had the privilege of working with many smart and talented people. Thanks to them, I've learned to see software development as a craft that requires dedication, continuous learning, and great attention to detail.
At the same time, I've learned that building software is a team effort that depends on collaboration, clear communication, and empathy. It's crucial to find the right balance between these aspects to deliver successful solutions while maintaining a sense of fulfillment and confidence in the work we do.
These learnings form the foundation of my approach to software development: craftsmanship, collaboration, and a strong focus on delivering real value.

My Blog
In my blog I (and LLMs) write about coding-related topics.
The primary goal of my blog has always been to experiment and explore new technologies rather than getting more views.
The initial version of my blog was launched in 2021 using Django, Django templates, and Bootstrap. Over time, the blog evolved significantly: it incorporated htmx and even implemented a REST API. Both the blog and this page were part of the same Django project.
But similarly to my career path, the blog and the frameworks I work with have evolved significantly. When I discovered the charm of Next.js, I decided to re-implement it using Next.js. Check it out using the link below!
Please note that all opinions expressed on the blog are my own.
My Projects
One of my favorites ways to learn and grow as a developer is by building side projects. Here are some of them:
