RBYC theme
A Wordpress theme, based on twentytwenty, made for the website of the company I work for. It has some customisations to work a bit more nicely with things like WooCommerce. You can visit the site here.
Getting personal
In this page I want to touch briefly about some of the things that move me, my greatest interests in life.
If you share some of them and would like to talk about it I'm more than eager to get in touch!
📖 Open-source coding projects
There's all sorts of repos in my GitHub about the most disparate things. Not all code is pretty but it's a great playground to experiment with new and sometimes old technologies.
Nextjs gallery
A very simple photo gallery built with Next.js. It does not rely on any database, just throw any images and directories you want into the public folder and navigate around as if it was your computer's file manager.
Vantage Pro Weather
The original project was written in C, I'm now passing it to Nodejs and adding a few extra bells and whistles. It is a CLI to pull weather data from a Vantage PRO2 console, a very popular weather station console within yacht clubs here in Australia. I aim to also integrate it with a weather API to have real-time weather info available online.
CocoCode
This website you're visiting, built with Next.js, Chakra UI and framer-motion.
💃 Tango dancing
Back in May 2020, in the midst of the first COVID-19 lockdown in Melboure, my partner and I started taking online tango classes with the brilliant Matias Van De Voorde. We both loved it and kept taking classes, training and occasionally going out to social tango nights.
We even started a YouTube channel where we post some of our training videos and describe the experience and life teachings that come from it.
🌌 Astronomy
I'm endlessly fascinated (and deeply scared) by the vastness of the universe, by the unimmaginable scale and weird properties of celestial bodies. I could listen for hours to people explaining all the crazy phenomena that happen in space, and many times I do.
I like astronomy so much that my only (so far at least) tattoo is that of a black hole on my right upper arm.
⚡️ Electronics
I love tinkering with microcontrollers, sensors, servos... burning my hands with hot soldering irons and write small efficient code that can fit in a few hundred bytes of memory space.
I'm now learning to use KiCad to desgin my own PCBs.
