## About the author

Manuel Martínez-Almeida (Manu) is a principal engineer at Builder.io, where he sets the technical direction for the AI agent platform across product, design, and code. He is the creator of Gin (the Go web framework with ~88k GitHub stars and 290k+ dependent projects), helped take Qwik from proof-of-concept to production including its Rust compiler and resumability model, and designed the compiler architecture and virtual DOM for Stencil. His work sits where performance, systems, and developer experience meet — compilers, language runtimes, web frameworks, GPU rendering, and distributed infrastructure serving billions of requests a day. He is based between Lisbon and Budapest.

## Writing

- [Figma to Code Before LLMs](https://manualmeida.dev/articles/figma-to-code-before-llms): How I used geometry, decision trees, and a tournament between possible merges to recover responsive structure from Figma designs at Builder.io.
- [NoiseLang: Where N = 5 is a Dirac delta](https://manualmeida.dev/articles/noiselang): A signals-and-noise course left me writing Monte Carlo math on paper and wishing the notation itself would run. Nine years later, with an AI agent doing the heavy lifting, NoiseLang became a real Monte Carlo language that runs the same fused kernel on the GPU, on every CPU core, and on WebAssembly.
- [Qwik: Resumability That Feels Like React](https://manualmeida.dev/articles/qwik-resumability): I joined Miško Hevery's team and helped turn Qwik from a resumable-but-painful prototype into a framework that feels like React, backed by a Rust compiler that extracts closures and serializes app state into HTML, so the fast path is the default one.
- [Releasing OpenView](https://manualmeida.dev/articles/openview-health): OpenView Health is a free app anyone can use to visualize and securely share their medical data. A modern DICOM visualizer powered by set.health.
- [How Breaking My Leg Gave Me Time to Stop and Think](https://manualmeida.dev/articles/sethealth-gpu-ct): How I broke my ankle and built set.health, a platform to streamline medical data into amazing healthcare produ
