About Miguel Garrido

I'm a self-taught developer who started making websites before CSS existed. I work with PHP, JavaScript, and the MERN stack. I am fascinated by user interfaces.

Working as an analyst taught me to think beyond code to how users actually interact with systems.

Originally from Valparaíso, Chile, I now work remotely from Barcelona. When I'm not coding, I'm working on organic farming or building projects.

What I love most is collaborating with people and seeing them succeed—whether helping clients achieve their goals or mentoring developers as they grow.
