Hi there,

I'm Luis Borjas Reyes. I'm a software developer; I've written some non-code words too, for fun.

Some useful links

• Since 2009, I've been working in software development independently and for some neat companies.
• I've put quite a bit of code up on Github: a few proofs of concept, learning artifacts, and libraries.
• Sometimes, I write about tech.
• I've put together some verses in Spanish and English.
• And I've also written some nonfiction.

Projects

Don't have that many, most of my 12 years in software have been spent working on proprietary code to pay my bills or move out of my hometown. I love learning though, check out that Github.

• ecliptic.surf, a little tool to visualize planetary transits (e.g. Jupiter meeting old pals in 2022), written in Haskell.
• Astral Arcanum GraphQL backend in Haskell for an upcoming free astrology app.
• Freenatalchart.xyz, a free resource for astrological data and charts, written in Haskell.
• Geocode.city, a city-only geocoding API, also written in Haskell.
• What is aspic? — one of my favorite breakfast foods. It's literally a photo of aspic.

Open Source Libraries

• Swiss Ephemeris: Haskell bindings to the C Swiss Ephemeris library, exposes functions and types useful for Horoscopy (I use it for freenatalchart.xyz to obtain planetary positions and calculate house cusps.)
• Almanac: a Haskell library to work on pre-calculated ephemeris (as produced by my `SwissEphemeris` library) to examine intervals of time and find events of interest (zodiac sign ingresses, changes of direction for planets, transits between planets or to natal points, moon phases, and eclipses.)
• Timezone Detect: Half Haskell bindings to the C Zone Detect library, half functions built on top of Time NG packages to provide the ability to detect a Timezone based on coordinates, and convert local time in a Unix timezone to UTC. (I also use this in freenatalchart.xyz , to not depend on third-party services for timezone detection.)
