Benjamin Morales builds practical software.
I am a 29 year old developer working across PHP, C, Angular, Ionic, Capacitor, Swift, Java, Kotlin, databases, containers, and the occasional Lua script. Right now I am adding Rust to the toolbox.
Stack

The work ranges from backend systems and database decisions to native mobile details and the product surfaces people actually touch.

Notes
Writing for the workbench.
Convex made hobby apps feel light again
Convex has made small app development feel much easier because I spend less time worrying about webhooks, caching, and keeping the frontend in sync with backend state.
How Ionic won me over
I did not like Ionic at first because it felt like HTML wrapped in a mobile view. The things that changed my mind were the community, the tooling, and how easy it was to onboard new colleagues.
