About Me

Hi, I’m Gerardo Catalas, a passionate student of software development and backend technologies.
I’m currently pursuing two technical degrees at Instituto Superior Politécnico Córdoba: Software Development and Web Development and Digital Applications. I’m especially enthusiastic about the backend world, where logic, databases, and efficiency come together to solve real problems.

Although I’m still in training, I dedicate a lot of time to personal projects, collaborations, and bootcamps that help me apply and improve what I’ve learned. I mainly program in Python and Ruby, and I enjoy exploring MySQL and other server-side tools.

I like to think of programming as a way to build bridges between ideas and solutions. Every line of code I write is an opportunity to learn, contribute, and grow.

Interests ✨ #

I’m passionate about software development in general, with a special focus on backend. I’m also interested in web development and frameworks like Flutter, which allow building cross-platform mobile apps with native performance.

While AI interests me, more than programming it, I like to use it as a tool to improve my code, learn new techniques, and better understand why certain solutions work.

On my blog, I share practical, quality content — like Git cheat sheets and useful tools — based on what I’m learning or discovering, to help other developers grow.
