¡Hola! My name is

José Carlos.

I'm a software developer.

I'm driven by the excitement of turning ideas into practical, user-centered software solutions that focus on improving people's lives. I also enjoy sharing programming insights on my blog and playing guitar when I'm offline.

Professional experience

Although the core of my +3 year programming career revolves around native mobile development, I also have web development experience in backend with Laravel and frontend with Vue and React. On top of that, I like to tinker with Python in my spare time to create useful tools like Audiotext and Mobile Strings Converter.

A few days ago, Audiotext reached the 100 stars milestone, which is my second project to achieve so, the first one being iOS Interview Questions.

Like when I changed the code blocks style of my site, I went back to the Astro Docs repo to figure out how to add their anchor links to my site, so let me show you what I did to pull it off!
Astro Docs code blocks with Expressive Code
Posted on:
While researching how to add the View Transitions API with Astro, I thought about implementing the same code block style of their documentation because I find the default configuration of Shiki to lack some important features such as insertions. Also, the way the code blocks are presented in the Astro Docs is just beautiful.
