I write occasionally, and some of that is here.Hello.2026-05-02T00:06:10+00:002026-05-02T00:06:10+00:00https://writing.mholandez.com/2026/05/02/helloHello.

I intend for this corner of my portfolio to be a place to record my progress with current projects. Occasionally, I’ll also use it as a place to put down some thoughts I think are worth sharing.

Unlike the main page of the site, the /writing route runs on Jekyll with the Minimal theme (the standard one). Jekyll feels quite academic and old-fashioned, but it clearly works and does what it needs to do. I also like that I can write in Markdown and have my musings converted to nice-looking HTML without having to handle that conversion on my own. I tried this a few days ago with Gemini and OpenCode, but there are many edge cases, and it didn’t look as clean as I wanted. Yet another lesson not to reinvent the wheel.

As of now, I’m looking for Fall 2026 co-op opportunities in an Engineering (software), Security or Data role. Reach out to me through the email below if you’d like to chat.
