Manuel Gudiño

👋🏻 Hey! I'm Manu. For the past year I've been working for multiple start-ups and upcoming businesses as a Full-Stack developer (front-end heavy), specializing in building web applications / MVPs from scratch, and turning their ideas into great and performant UIs.

I focus on Next.js/React and SvelteKit development, alongside TypeScript, TailwindCSS and popular libraries, such as ShadcnUI and OpenAI API for AI integrations. I also enjoy diving deep into new technologies and the more technical side of a product/solution.
