What is this?

By reading Dave Cedia’s blog post about building a blog with GatsbyJS, I felt encouraged to build my own. After kicking around the idea of what should my blog be, I asked myself “What kind of blog posts are interesting for me as a developer?”, through this question I ended up with the following list:

• Short blog posts that provide substancial and interesting information
• Short and educational blog posts
• Blog posts that I can put in practice as I read through them

Based on these answers I came up with the idea of a blog with posts that can be read in 5 minutes, with content oriented for developers and educational so it can be used as “tips” for daily tasks.

Once the idea was solidified, I decided to name it:

FMDT - Five Minutes Dev Tip

Who am I?

I’m a software developer, I’ve worked with web development languages since 2013. Born in Guatemala and currently a resident in Sacramento, CA. I’ve been living in the US for 4 years now. I’ve worked for product based companies and as a consultant, some of the companies I’ve worked projects for are StarMedia, Retail Pro, Siemens, Ericsson, EKA Solutions, and Volvo.

I currently work for Volvo Luxe team at their San Francisco office. I enjoy a nice bike ride along the river. I’m a petrol head, I have profound love for classic european cars, currently I’m working on restoring a 318is e30.

This is my first post on my new blog! How exciting! I’m sure I’ll write a lot more interesting things in the future, so stay tuned.
