Open Source

I love Open Source! I've made small contributions to open source projects. My goal is to contribute even more in the future. I've also been sponsoring the Svelte and Vite projects for quite some time.

Cool projects I'm working on in my free time

Organizer 📅

An agenda for people with ADHD using React Native (mobile), SvelteKit (web) and Go (backend). My vision for this app is to make it as accessible as possible for people who have trouble remembering important life events. Having ADHD myself, I've struggled to remember birthdays, family activities, and even what time I was supposed to wake up! That's why I'm used to apps like Google Calendar. However, sometimes these apps fail me (or I fail them, I'm not sure). That's why I'm exploring how to improve this kind of apps.

Recetalias 👩‍🍳

A collection of curated recipes from Natalia Díaz, with customizable search by ingredient or text. The site allows Natalia to manage all content, so she can create, delete, and edit any recipe or ingredient. The website is being built with SvelteKit and Postgres. AWS is used for the infrastructure.
