This is my home page, which contains articles and stories I've written since 1998 about Fidonet, Linux, programming, radio, and all kinds of neat things I've been learning about.

The latest story I've published is “Project Spite.” You can also see the table of contents.


I'm a software engineer originally from Galicia, and now living near New York City.

I'm the author of a program to receive radio signals via RTL-SDR that runs on the browser. Its source code is available in three parts (web app, DSP library, Web RTL-SDR library).

I'm an amateur radio enthusiast; my callsigns are AE2IT (USA) and EA1ITI (Spain). I formerly held the US callsign KK6RKA. My main interests are shortwave (mainly 20 and 40m), software-defined radio (SDR), and exchanging QSL cards.

I briefly published a weekly newsletter about software engineering called “Coding Sheet”. It was a translation of my more successful Galician language newsletter, “A Folla”. Archives for both are still available in their respective web pages.

Other neat things I've done include a Pascal compiler written in Pascal, and what once was the smallest Twitter client for Android in the world.

I was very involved in Linux and Free Software between 1996 and 2009. I used to be a Debian developer and a founder of a project to translate Free Software into Galician (I mainly worked on GNU, Debian, and Mozilla.)
