About Xavi's Projects

Welcome to Xavi's Projects! a window into my experiments with new software patterns, tools, and technologies. I'm Xavier, a backend-focused developer diving into cloud platforms and picking up frontend skills along the way. I created this site as both a living portfolio and a sandbox for learning, tinkering, and sharing insights with the developer community.

Site Mission & Evolution

This site is intentionally minimal to start, prioritizing clean structure over visual fluff. My immediate goals:
• Build a personal playground to try out new tools, design patterns, and APIs.
• Provide a frontend UI for backend-focused projects, including a text message service interface and financial analytics apps.
• Gradually evolve this platform into a polished proof-of-work, and an open resource for fellow engineers.

How I Approach Learning & Building

  • Learning in public: I document successes and stumbles so others can learn with me.
  • Intentional system design: Each project balances simplicity, flexibility, and future scalability—architectural write-ups are shared as I iterate.
  • Community focus: I welcome questions, code reviews, and collaboration—connect via LinkedIn!
