About

Hi, I'm Álvaro.
Frontend developer and cybersecurity student.

My learning is based on solving real problems. If something doesn't exist or doesn't work as I need it to, I build it. I've been jumping from systems to code since 2020, always looking for the "why" behind every line and every vulnerability.

What I do today

I specialise in frontend: semantic HTML, CSS/Sass and JavaScript. I work with Astro for multipage sites and have React and TypeScript as my next step.

In parallel, I study cybersecurity. Not as a separate path, but as the other side of the same coin: understanding how things are built and understanding how they’re attacked go hand in hand.

How I learn

With real problems. An exercise with no consequences doesn’t stick. That’s why all my projects are born from concrete needs: I want something, it doesn’t exist, I build it.

ICO Notes is the clearest example: I started with a site to submit coursework from a communication course and ended up building an installable app with all the content available offline. JavaScript Notes followed the same pattern: my Notion notes weren’t cutting it, so I turned them into a PWA with search, flashcards and keyboard shortcuts.
