Bio
Hello, my name is Andrés. I am a Computer Engineer. However I consider myself more as a Software Engineer. I enjoy writing code and I am constantly learning new things, concepts, technologies and becoming more experienced in general. I also love to read, play video games, and sometimes write about many topics.
I am interested in:
- Go Programming
- Backend development
- Distributed systems programming
- Systems programming in C++ and/or Rust
And to a lesser degree:
- Video games and/or computer graphics programming
While my main area of expertise is computer programming and technology, I also like to think and talk about some other stuff, including social and political topics. Some of those topics are:
- History.
- Masculinity and manliness.
- Christianity.
- Politics.
- Video games.
- Weightlifting.
- Cinema.
- Literature.
- Music.

Why Άνδρος (Ándros)?
I don’t really use this nickname a lot, but I still like it. Through my life, I’ve used many internet nicknames, but I’ve never been completely happy with most of them. For my previous website I wanted something a little more serious. Although this is a little ironic as now in this current site I use my real name. I still like to explain why Ándros though.
Look, I know no greek, so I could be messing some of this stuff, alright? Correct me if I’m wrong.
The thing is, I have two names, one of them is Andrés, or Andrew, which is Άνδρος, (ancient greek for Ándros).
Ándros, Andrew, Andrés, Andreas, etc…. is a proper masculine name of greek origin, it means man just like that; as the opposite of a woman. While human could be referred to as άνθρωπος, ánthropos, ανθρώπου, anthrópou.
The meaning of Ándros could be understood as a man with an incredible power, manly, brave, virile, strong, and a warrior.
I believe I am none of theese things. But I strive to become them one day, and remembering the meaning of my own name empowers me, inspires me, and gives me strenght.
Communication
I am not enough of a hacker yet to host my own email, or have a GPG key or any of that stuff (I don’t understand it). So for now, we’ll have to do with stuff used by normal people:
My email address using evil Google (for now): nunezlopez.ja@gmail.com
I should work a little harder to escape the botnet. Please be patient, I am just starting to dive into this world.
Website
I built a very simple and ugly website for a college assignment in my Databases course. It was just super basic HTML.
Some years later, while doing CS50 (Harvard’s Intro to Computer Science), I was assigned to make a website using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I managed to get some really basic stuff that got the job done, but I was far from happy with the results. So after browsing some Webrings, I decided to put a little more effort into this and try to build something better.
My previous website was built on July 2023. It featured some kind of internet persona to fit right into a webring. I liked that. It was like being part of a club. It was powered by Hugo. At first, I tried to use a custom theme that I shamelessly copied from sizeof(cat). Their theme was, in place, based on another theme so apparently what I was trying to do was modify an already modified theme. It was a mess though, as I did this without being familiar enough with Hugo, or designing websites in general. This wasn’t Sizeof(cat)’s problem or fault though, I take the blame completely on me. After some days of trial and error, and many frustrations, I started from scratch using another theme. The website ended up using the LoveIt theme.
After a couple years, in April 2025, I decided to switch to a more “serious” website, in which I included my real name, to be used along my networks, like LinkedIn. I completely deleted my web server and started a new site from zero, without copying anyone’s configuration. Except well, the theme. This site is using the pretty Hugo-Classic theme. I really like the vibe or aesthetic it gives. I still haven’t decided wheter to copy all of my old posts into this new site or start everything from zero. We’ll see.
I am STILL getting used to Hugo and everything webdev related so I consider this to still be a work in progress. Still, I hope you enjoy your stay!
