Hi! I'm Miguel Useche, a software engineer focused on web development, artificial intelligence, developer tools, and open-source software.

I've spent my career building software, contributing to open-source projects, teaching, and sharing what I learn with the developer community through conferences and my technology blog.

My background also includes teaching programming and operating systems at Universidad del Táchira and participating in Mozilla Tech Speakers.

Do you want me to speak at your event?

I enjoy turning complex technical topics into practical, approachable talks. I speak about artificial intelligence, web browsers, developer tools, WebAssembly, WordPress, operating systems, Linux, and open-source software.

If you'd like me to speak at your conference, meetup, university, or company event, get in touch through the contact section.

Services

Frontend

I build fast, accessible, and maintainable web interfaces, from lightweight static sites to complex web applications.

I work primarily with modern JavaScript, React, Vue, semantic HTML, CSS, and established web standards, choosing the simplest architecture that fits the project's requirements.

Backend

I build backend systems with a focus on security, maintainability, stability, scalability, and operational simplicity.

My experience includes PHP applications, REST APIs, WordPress development, custom plugins, third-party integrations, and backend services supporting web applications.

Servers

I manage Linux servers and infrastructure, including system installation, service configuration and maintenance, automation scripts, firewall configuration, database and application migrations, and performance optimization.

I also have experience working with AWS and other cloud platforms.

Open source projects

I enjoy contributing to open-source projects. My passion for open-source technologies led me to create my own projects, which I invite you to use, study, and improve. Any contributions are always welcome!

Community & open-source contributions

Open source has been a major part of my career. I contribute to projects and communities I use, learn from, and care about whenever I can.

I maintain PKGBUILDs for software that isn't available in the official Arch Linux repositories and publish them through the Arch User Repository (AUR). You can find my packages on my AUR profile.

I translate the application into Spanish, contribute patches, develop plugins, and report bugs to improve its functionality and user experience.

I've contributed to the Mozilla community through conference talks, articles, translations, code, social media, and community websites.

I've developed open-source WordPress plugins, contributed translations, spoken at and organized WordCamps, and helped organize the first WordPress Meetup in Venezuela.
