About me

I fell in love with programming during my Mathematics degree, where I was lucky enough to meet other hacky friends. During those days, I recurrently had the chance to use the triforce - HTML, CSS & JS - in several hackathons and side projects, cementing a good base for later learning.

After finishing my studies in advanced mathematics and a brief detour into the domains of data science, I decided to return to and delve deeper into web development. Ever since, my main focus has been enjoying the crazy ride in this ever-evolving field.

I am always excited about building cool web applications and learn new things in the process. About turning designs into reality, or creating them from scratch using my UI/UX skills if necessary. About implementing new features, optimizing the backend or solving nasty bugs that hinder performance.

My goal? Crafting robust but visually appealing and user-friendly applications that provide a seamless browsing experience.

My tools and areas of interest revolve around Typescript, React, Next.js, Node, both SQL and no-SQL databases, and more recently Golang and C#. I am also acquainted to Python and its related data science libraries.

Projects

Here are some side projects and ideas I have worked on over the years:

Memojy

Full stack game app to play Memory (Matching Pairs) with emoji cards. It is possible to play online with friends or random people, or locally using the same PC/ device.

React Typescript Golang (Backend) Websockets Sass Zustand Zod Vite

Nil Garcés website

Personal music project website, a good showcase of my design skills. The site contains all the songs, music sheets and relevant information about the project.

NextJS React Tailwind Typescript

Wherio (in repair)

Multiplayer game platform, where all the games revolve around the concept of anticipating what the other players will do next! Server logic originally built using Django, migrated to NodeJS during 2023.

Plain HTML, CSS & JS NodeJS Websockets jQuery Vite

nilgarces.dev

Personal portfolio, where I show some of the programming projects I have worked on over the years.

Plain HTML, CSS & JS Vite

Web Visuals & Creative

Website that gathers some side mini-projects I have coded over time. They are more centered on the creative and visual side of web programming: cool/unconventional ways of working with HTML and CSS, mini-games, WebGL...

Plain HTML, CSS & JS

ToMATo algorithm docs (GUDHI library)

Jupyter Notebook detailing the implementation of the ToMATo algorithm to the open-source library GUDHI. This new clustering method is based on persistance homology, a key concept in Topological Data Analysis (Master Thesis project).

Python DS libraries Jupyter Notebook

When I'm not at the computer, I'm usually reading, hanging out with friends or learning useless information on Youtube/Wikipedia.

But I also play the guitar and create music!🥰
