JCastrov's Wiki

Welcome. I am Jorge Castro, a software engineer who enjoys turning complex ideas into clear, useful explanations.

If we have worked together, met at one of my talks, or you found this site through another profile, I am glad you are here. This wiki is a small window into some knowledge about software engineering and the lessons I have collected through several years of building, teaching, and solving problems with others.

I write about the foundations that help software stay understandable and dependable. You will also find practical notes about coding and tools I use to work and software I enjoy. More recently, I have been exploring how to use AI as a reasoning partner while keeping engineering judgment in human hands.

These pages are not intended to replace official documentation or provide a complete treatment of every topic. They are practical notes: explanations, examples, and solutions to problems I have encountered or found worth understanding. Where a subject deserves more in-depth study, I point to resources that can take you further.

Whether you are a coworker looking for a shared reference, a fellow engineer comparing approaches, or simply a curious adventurer, you will find something useful here. Browse the sections in the navigation, or use the Search button in the header to go straight to a topic.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this wiki helps you understand something more clearly, improve a technical decision, or find a useful starting point for your next project.
