Welcome to Modular Thoughts! 👋

I'm Xavier Mod, a 28-year-old senior front-end developer living in London. I’ve spent the past 6+ years building software across different industries. I like to think of myself as “front-end first, full-stack capable” — someone who loves crafting user interfaces & apps, and comfortable working across the stack when needed.

Modular Thoughts is my career journal, where I talk about tech, software, philosophy and more!

Feel free to check out some of my public side projects, experiments, and archives on my GitHub profile. While I can’t share everything I’ve worked on in my full-time roles, I’d be happy to grab a coffee and chat about what I can ☕

Technologies I work with

I've built many applications with TypeScript, JavaScript, SCSS, React, Vue and React Native. On the back-end, I've contributed to projects with Node.js, NestJS, and .NET/C#. I'm not limited to any of these though, always looking to learn and adapt. Knowledge is transferable (specially in these wild days of AI).

Follow my journey

I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of an industry I genuinely love. My passion for computers, software, and games has been a constant throughout my life, and turning that lifelong interest into a career is something I never take for granted.
