Behind the Publication

Hi, I'm Giwan.

Senior frontend developer by day, creator of digital experiments by night. Building with intention, one side project at a time.

I'm a senior frontend developer who likes to build. This is just one of the side projects I spend time on. My primary side project is Mytoori.com.

I grew up speaking both English at home and Dutch at school. Later, I traveled quite a bit for work, picking up a few other languages along the way. German is close enough to Dutch so I cheat a bit there; I spent a year living in France but lost some fluency when I left. I'm currently learning and struggling with Portuguese.

The Stack

I mostly develop with ReactJS but have dabbled with SvelteKit and VueJS. Meta frameworks are the future—I prefer Remix or React Router.

The Engine

In the backend, I use NodeJS. Lately, I've been using and liking Deno. Since most of the things I build are side projects, I look for services where I can host them for free.

This site is built with Astro and TailwindCSS. I use GitHub for version control and GitHub Pages for hosting.
