Here's my now page. It's a place I publicly share and prioritize what I am working on. Thanks to Derek Sivers for this idea!

I did not write that much in 2025 and had this space practically abandoned, but I'm back. That doesn't mean I didn't do stuff. Here's what I'm up to now.

Last update: January, 2025

  • Working with a world class team for world class clients at BCGX!.
  • Play with the music team at Fellowship church.
  • Continue my music and guitar studies with Pablo Mendoza.
  • Launch Taleemi, a school management system I've been working on the side.
  • Working on something cool for latinos.ae
  • Getting back into roleplaying

Achievements in 2025

  • I had a writers block, more like "I don't feel like writing anything" kinda thing, I will explain it in a blog post.
  • I finished and launched ThirdParty, a side project I made open-source. Read more about it in the website.
  • I reorganized my online presence. I finally got some time to sit down and create a nice looking "about me" page and directed my root domain there, while keeping the blog here in blog.iffm.me. You can see it here.
  • I've made HUGE progress in another of my personal projects which I intend to launch in Q1/2026, let's see how it goes.
  • I started blog post ideas and started developing them to have posts until August 2026.
  • I made it to the Music team at church! I passed the audition.
  • I now play the guitar and study music more regularly, still need to adjust and make a better use of my time.
  • I came back to reading also. I am finishing my first (and only) book of 2025 as on November.
  • I played at the Church's latin community Christmas gathering along with other fellow Christian musicians.

Achievements in Q2/2024

  • I had a "writers block" and spent a bit over a month without writing or publishing anything, it turned out I was burnt out from my latest project and all the stress was coming out. I'm back into my normal rhythm but I guess I'll be less strict in the number of posts and I'll focus more on writing better ones.
  • In terms of growth, I can see visits are increasing but subscriptions are stuck, I need to figure out why and what additional value I can offer to drive this up
  • Didn't do much on my book this quarter and it's a shame, I have to catch up on this
  • On my music life, it looks like I won't be able to reenroll on classes with Pablo again, I caught up on the lessons though and I'm practicing more on the spare time I have, my goal for the next quarter will change to "organize my music learning" and also find people to play with.

Achievements in Q1/2024

  • I've been consistently posting on the blog and keeping a backlog of drafts I'm working on while scheduling the finished articles to keep a consistent pace, I think there was only one week when I failed to post twice.
  • I'm still working at BCGX, it's been two projects since the last update, I need to write about all that
  • Finished a couple of chapters about API design, I'm thinking of adding a small API project to complement the theory.
  • I enrolled again on guitar lessons with my all-time teacher Pablo Mendoza but had to quit for a while because of lack of time to put in the needed effort.
