More about me

Hey, I’m Yuri Alves.

I’m a developer, tinker, and builder based in Guernsey. I like to ship fast, whether it’s a useful tool or a cursed side project. To be honest if it sparks curiosity, I’m probably prototyping it.

My sweet spot is mobile and web development, AI, and automation. I several side projects in my spare time, building clever, helpful, and occasionally unhinged products/services. I’m either deep in code or breaking what I just made to make it better. or to try a different approach. So I am basically a little coding goblin
