Summary

Here's a little bit about me written by a very nice LLM. Hey! I’m Victor, a web developer who’s been mixing creativity and code since dial‑up was still a thing. I started out as an illustrator, fell head‑first into web development, and never looked back. These days I spend my time building clean, functional and accessible web experiences with my favorite combo: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL, and honestly, that’s where I have the most fun. On the backend, I’m happiest working with Laravel, especially when I get to build with Blade or Livewire. I also enjoy mixing in tools like Vue.js, Inertia.js, Alpine.js and the occasional Node.js project when it fits the problem. On the front end, I love working with semantic HTML, modern CSS (Grid, Flexbox, custom properties), and just‑enough JavaScript, whether that’s vanilla or something a bit more reactive. I’m comfortable with Git, deployment workflows, actions and all the little pieces that make a project feel polished and maintainable. My art background (MFA + BFA in drawing and printmaking) still sneaks into everything I do, from layouts to color choices to the occasional doodle in my sketchbook. I’m based in sunny San Juan, fluent in English and Spanish, and always ready for a new project, a new challenge, or a new excuse to overthink a font choice.
