About

Hola, I’m Manu 👋

I am product-driven JavaScript engineer.

I've been in the tech game for over a decade, working with different sorts of companies and wearing many hats. From coding to managing, I still enjoy the thrill of it.

This blog idea popped up during a chat with my therapist about overthinking. I started turning those thoughts into articles, and being a web dev, bingo, it became a blog.
