Welcome to The Console — Miguel Chacon’s Digital Journal

This is my personal console — a space where I log thoughts, experiments, and lessons from both life and technology. Here, I share what I’m building, learning, and exploring, from coding challenges to creative ideas that shape my journey as a developer. Just like a real console, it’s raw, honest, and ever-evolving — a reflection of the process behind the progress.
