Hi, I’m Miguel.

Engineering civil infrastructure and digital tools.

I’m an Engineering Project Manager in Minnesota, focusing on public infrastructure like roads and utilities. I apply that same engineering discipline to software. As a self-taught developer, I build tools to solve practical problems—ranging from Python-based dashboards for traffic analysis to Obsidian plugins and browser extensions that streamline my workflow.

This site is my public workshop for documenting my process and sharing what I learn. It’s where I explore how civil engineering logic can be used in automation, usually with a playlist in the background.
