Hola!

Who this guy?

My name is Àngel Castillo and I'm from, and currently live in, Barcelona. I've lived for two years in London and for a year in the Basque Country. Beautiful places. Very rainy.

I'm a front-end web developer who likes developing front-end stuff for the web (hmmkay). I'm not married to any specific way of working nor technology, although sometimes I miss the simpler times of the old web, and with this website I tried to capture that: simple HTML and CSS with no JavaScript nor tracking codes of any kind. Also, a cool reto look to boot.

My hobbies

I like photography, hiking, watching movies (favourites: Blade Runner, Alien, Lost in Translation, Drive), reading, skating, and installing and testing old (and/or quirky) operating systems like Amiga, Macintosh (can you tell?), BeOS, Plan 9, MenuetOS, BSD, Minix, QNX and all sorts of Linux distros.

I also like coding small, mostly useless apps challenging myself to do it in as little amount of lines of code as possible. Riveting, I know.

Technologies I use

• HTML5, CSS3, SASS, PostCSS
• JavaScript, React, Gatsby
• WordPress, Shopify, OctoberCMS, Jekyll
• ... And others, including, but not limited to: Vagrant, Git, NPM, Gulp, Yarn, Twig, and several CSS frameworks like Bootstrap, Bulma, Foundation, Tachyons, etc

Despite all the above, I always prefer to code by hand and with as little tooling/building as possible.

Contact me

Let's be honest, the only way you can find this site is through the link in the signature of my email, so there's no point on adding it here.
That also means we've talked at least once, therefore I fully acknowledge and embrace the pointlessness of this website as a means to reach new people. But hey, I had fun doing it.
