# About Fernando Diaz

I work end to end. I go from the problem to the interface and work the details in code. The interactions, the API, the speed. Most of what I've built started as a blank page and ended as something people used. For the last three years, mostly agentic software.

React, Next.js, TypeScript, React Native, SwiftUI

Based in San Francisco, California.
