Welcome to Xavi's Projects

Playground and showcase for modern backend architectures, system design patterns, and full-stack experimentation.
I’m Xavier, a backend-focused software developer exploring cloud, APIs, and frontend integration.

How I Design Systems

Every project is built to be a learning experience, starting simple, but structured for future scalability. Expect layered architectures, robust API boundaries, and intentional trade-offs between impact, speed and maintainability.

Cloud-native first: AWS, containerization, and CI/CD
Testable APIs: REST, event-driven patterns, and contract validation
Clean separation between frontend skins and backend logic
