Hello 👋!
My name is Alejandro Garcia Anglada and I'm a 👨🏻💻 Web Engineer enthusiast that loves making the web a better place for everyone.
I want to know more about you.
I was born in Malaga, Spain where I grew up before moving to Madrid to study Computer Science.
I have a son 👶🏻 with my beautiful wife 👩🏻 and we currently live in Madrid where I work remotely for Shogun as a Senior Frontend Engineer, before that I worked at Live Nation International leading the Frontend Engineering team in London, UK. I've also worked for trivago in Mallorca, Spain.
I have passion for coding, and making people lifes easier with software is my main motivation.
Right now (2021), I focus on Typescript, React, Testing and Performance, and I write about them here ✍️, I also like to record myself coding 🎥.
I would really like to teach 👨🏻🏫 you all I know about these topics, book my time now.
In case you are interested to know more about me:
- This is what I use in my day to day as a developer.
- This is what I'm working on right now.
- And this are some useful links I use to stay up to date.
Any other questions? Ask me anything.
