Hello World!
Welcome to my digital playground, where JavaScript, React.js, and Node.js are the main attractions. This website is hosted on a Raspberry Pi in my apartment.
I'm Esteban, a front-end expert and back-end enthusiast who loves turning complex problems into simple, elegant solutions. This site is my sandbox, where I experiment, innovate, and occasionally break things (for science, of course!).
Let's explore what happens when creativity meets code!

Raspberry Pi
This website, hosted on a Raspberry Pi and developed with React for the frontend and a Node.js API for the backend, serves as a creative playground to explore the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins and develop a web interface for controlling apartment lighting. Furthermore, by integrating a camera stream, this project has evolved into a valuable addition to my home security system.
Check out the Front-End repo and the API repo.
In this project I transformed my apartment into a tech playground. Hosting this site on a Raspberry Pi, shielded by Cloudflare and streamlined with NGINX, I ventured into electronics by controlling lights and screens via web interfaces.
The project also includes a homemade CI/CD system, using GitHub Actions and Node.js to deploy updates through bash scripts—clunky yet effective. Plus, a live feed camera adds a personal touch.
It's a hands-on dive into web hosting, automation, and a bit of electronics, showcasing the versatility of software engineering beyond conventional boundaries.
