About Me

Hi, I’m JJ Garrido (Jose J. Garrido). A lifelong tech explorer, UX designer, and digital builder. I’ve been tinkering with computers and software since I coded BASIC on an Atari. That spirit still drives me today.

My Journey

Early tech roots: DOS, floppy disks, undeleting files, installing Windows 3.1 and 95… diving deep into every corner of software and hardware.

Web & SEO since 2007: I’ve built websites and mastered technical SEO, writing dozens of articles for Psicología en Acción, hosting its motivational videos, and more.

UX certified in 2021: Through Google’s UX Design Professional Certification, I refined my passion into a user-focused design career.

Entrepreneur: Co-founded Unitytop LLC in Houston, where I’ve helped clients with web and graphics design, tech, and marketing strategy.

Multilingual & global: Fluent in English and Spanish, conversational in German, now based in Panama City, exploring tech, nature, and life through curiosity and photography.

What I Do Now

I help creators, makers, and small teams feel confident in their tech choices. Whether it’s:

Building efficient, beautiful websites
Designing intuitive UX flows grounded in empathy
Strategizing smart SEO and cloud-driven solutions
Sharing tools and ideas that cut through complexity

Every day, I wake up wanting to create something meaningful. Something that helps people, sparks ideas, or just makes life easier.

What You'll Find Here

Real stories & tech wisdom: Essays, reviews, thoughts from someone who’s lived across digital eras.
Practical guides & tools: Clear, curated recommendations and what I’d personally trust and use.
Creative experiments: From motion design to cloud-based hacks, I share what I build and learn.

Extra Fun Facts

I drum… and yes, cats (especially Maine Coons) are my favorite bandmates.
My photography captures tech, urban life, and wild landscapes alike.
I thrive on learning: neuroscience, HCI, productivity, and the why behind everything I do.
