Hi, Agustin here 👋

I’ve been learning and building software since late 2020. Along the way, I’ve worked as a freelancer and also started a few ventures creating software products.

Luckily, I got into Linux pretty young, and somehow the terminal just hits different for me. I’ve hopped around from Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora, all the way to Arch. I like them all, but I usually stick with my trusty Ubuntu 22.04, the distro I started with.

Alongside my OS, I keep a few tools on my belt that I really enjoy using, like Neovim, i3 WM, and Tmux. If you’re curious, you can check out my dotfiles.


Tech Stack

My current tech stack is mostly Go for the backend. I usually work with PostgreSQL or SQLite, and I use Docker depending on the project.

For the frontend, I work with React/TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and Shadcn.

I also use Python and Bash scripting, and I usually write TypeScript for load balancers on Cloudflare Workers, treating it as infrastructure-as-code.

I usually rent VPS from Contabo because they’re cheap and have never caused me any problems. Most of the time I do my deployments with Nginx, using Certbot or Cloudflare for certificates. I also use Cloudflare for DNS records, and sometimes I rely on systemd, Docker, or both.

I use Git and GitHub almost every day, and I love automating things. From small automations with pyautogui, to my self-configured dotfiles, all the way up to CI/CD pipelines that make deployments painless.

What I’m Up To Right Now

These days, I’m mostly building new software products and improving existing ones. Read more about my work.

On top of that, I’ve recently gotten really interested in C, Assembly, memory management, software security, and other low-level stuff. I’ll be uploading guides and summaries about these topics here.

If this sounds interesting to you too, bookmark this site to check out the guides in your free time. This site will always be free and open to everyone.
