¡Hola! I'm Henestrosa.

I code so you don't have to.

Technology shouldn't be an obstacle–it should be your biggest ally. Let me help you turn your ideas into elegant, practical apps that truly stand out.

Let's talk!

Career path

Although the core of my +4 years' programming career revolves around mobile development, I have also 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.

iOS & Android Developer

Schwarz Digits
With over 50 million active users per month across 32 countries, there is no room for error. At Schwarz Digits, I am the sole developer working on the "Recipes" feature for the Lidl Plus app, the most widely used retail app in Europe. I help the product evolve by implementing a seamless recipe browsing experience, complete with personalized recommendations and an intuitive user interface. This allows customers to instantly move from dinner inspiration to purchase execution.

Latest posts

  • Deep Links and Universal Links both send users directly into specific content inside an app, but they work quite differently under the hood.

  • When working with version control tools like Git, it's not uncommon to make a typo or be unhappy with the message we've attached to a commit. Fortunately enough, there are two ways to modify the message of an unpushed commit in Git, depending on whether you want to change the message of the most recent commit or an older one.

  • 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. I realized that I hadn't written about Audiotext on this blog, so I thought it would be an appropriate moment to review the development of the project and how I plan to expand it.

  • For some reason, LinkedIn has removed the "Project URL" field from the project form. As a result, there is currently no way to add it directly from the frontend. However, there is a workaround to add it with a `fetch` request, which I'll show you in this tutorial.

  • An Eloquent API resource in Laravel is a class that allows you to transform your Eloquent models and model collections into a JSON format suitable for API responses. It provides a convenient way to shape the output of your model data, making it easier to control what data is exposed and how it's structured in your API responses.

  • Learn the essential steps to seamlessly integrate TFS source control into your Android Studio IDE for efficient code management and collaborative development.

  • Since there is currently no way to set the value of the -webkit-line-clamp attribute to auto, I've created a component to dynamically clamp the number of lines displayed for a given text depending on the height of its container.

  • Questions taken from hackingwithswift.com and answered by me with the help of Swift Book, Hacking with Swift, StackOverflow and ChatGPT.

  • Anchor links are a useful feature for websites that focus mainly on text, such as a project documentation site or a blog. 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!

  • 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.
