Welcome to my personal webpage! It contains articles and stories I've written since 1998 about Fidonet, Linux, programming, radio, and about all kinds of other cool and interesting things I learned.

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


I am a software engineer, originally from Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and now living near New York City with my wife and our dog.

I publish a weekly newsletter about software engineering, called “Coding Sheet”. It is an English version of my Galician language newsletter, “A Folla”.

I'm currently writing a Pascal compiler in Pascal, called Pascual. I'm also the author of a 100% JavaScript RTL-SDR demodulator, Radio Receiver, and of what once was the smallest useful Twitter client for Android, CheepCheep.

I am quite active in amateur radio, with the callsign KK6RKA (EA1ITI when operating outside of the US.) My main interests are shortwave (20 and 40m mainly), software-defined radio (SDR), and exchanging QSL cards. Feel free to email me to schedule a contact!

You can email me to my name at my surname dot org.
