Hi there 👋 Welcome to Miquel's profile page

I am a software developer with experience in web development on the backend and frontend, and some practical knowledge on the infrastructure side of things too • A bit more about myself, my new hobby is studying anthropology 📚 , I also enjoy playing chess ♞ and when I have the opportunity, I go for a hike 🥾You can reach me on LinkedIn

An overview of the tech skills

JavaScript

On the frontend, I have been using JavaScript with other libraries and frameworks like JQuery and Vue.js. On the backend, with Node.js and frameworks like Express.js..

Python

Before starting to learn web development, I initially learned the very basics of Python on my own. Years later, I got more in depth with Python when working with the Django framework. Some other Python libraries that I worked a bit with are Pandas and the Flask framework.

Java

Java was the main programing language that I was using when learning software development. I used Java intensively in a couple of internships, and later in a couple of professional projects for developing native Android Apps.

Bash

When studying Microcomputer Systems and Networks, I learned the basics of Linux systems, so learning bash helped me later write helpful small bash scripts that made my job easier. So even though I am not a system administrator, I have a basic understanding of SysV init, Systemctl, Cron Jobs, DNS and other services.

Git

I used Git on GitBucket, GitLab and GitHub with forks, PR, and code reviews.

Databases

When learning web development, I did use mostly PostgreSQL and later on a professional environment too. When working with Node.js, I did use mostly the NoSQL database MongoDB.

Infrastructure

I had the chance to work with AWS and Azure as hosting platforms. I have a basic experience with Ansible, Terraform and Docker for deployment and Sentry for alerting incidences.

Side projects

ACLED

This dashboard allows you to query data from 2022-04-05 to 2025-04-14 related to Middle East conflict events (protests, violence against civilians, riots, etc.). The information comes from ACLED and for displaying the information ECharts and Leaflet.js are used.

Channels

Website to watch IPTV channels. Other sites or programs required the user to upload the IPTV channels list himself/herself and also were lacking the option to save the favorites one. I made a script to fetch the channel's information from iptv-org and hosted it on this site, so the user could directly watch the channels. Some of the tech stack is Vue.js, HLS.js and Leaflet.js.

Profile

This profile, is being developed with Nuxt.js. The reason not to go for a static website generator like Hugo or Jekyll for such a simple page is that none of the templates that I found convinced me. Also, I thought using HTML and JS would allow adding easily further functionalities.

GeoUpdate Web

After doing an internship and having the opportunity to work on different projects related to geolocation, I felt like doing an app similar to Wikiloc. It was developed with Node.js, Express.js and MongoDB on the Backend and Angular v1 on the frontend.

GeoUpdate App

This is a native Android app allowing you to trace a hike and take pictures that are automatically attached to the geolocation. The app allows you to optionally upload the hiking to the GeoUpdate Web. It was developed with Java, Realm for the local database, and the Google Maps Android SDK.

GasStationSimulator

The purpose of this project was to determine which was the best strategic to locate gas stations along a road between two cities given a series of parameters. The project was made for the subject in the Degree in Computer Engineering of Fundaments of the engineering, using Angular 1 and the Google Maps API to display the information.

MMP

Inspired by a project when I was doing an Internship, this website displays real-time information regarding air quality coming from an Arduino board through an MQTT broker.
