About Me
Who Am I?
Results, Not Promises
Solutions-driven Software Engineer that is fascinated with collaborating with others who share a can-do culture. Experienced working with languages/frameworks such as JavaScript, Python, MySQL, and React on applications with responsibilities such as database management, API design, front-end data processing, data visualization, algorithmic solving, automation, and view organization. Excited to develop user-focused experiences and create transformative business solutions through the power of code.
Career Aspirations
How ambitious am I?
They say Rome wasn't built overnight, but I'm not afraid to start building. Within the tech industry, I aspire to become a senior software developer by the end of 2025. I'm passionate about teaching/learning software development and supporting the team around me with empathy. I'm currently a tutor for upcoming web developers helping them understand and use concepts related to database management with MongoDB or MySQL, React framework, Model View Controller (MVC) design, and application deployment. In the long-term, I will be a mentor to other first-generation Mexican Americans with a dream. I hope to call them fellow CEOs.
Education
Full Stack Coding Bootcamp
Certificate from UT - December 2021
Worked on over 18 small projects, wrote my first gist, and collaborated on three applications with a talented team of developers (all three projects pinned below). I still remember how tough it was to write my first code quiz, and how it was even more challenging to style it after spending hours writing a script. I may have learned HTML, CSS, Javascript, Express, SQL, React, MongoDB, RESTful APIs and other highly-valued skills in software development, but there are more languages and tools I'd like to create with.
McCombs School of Business
Supply Chain Management - May 2019
I graduated with a BBA in Business Administration at the Red McCombs School of Business in May 2019 with a major in Supply Chain Management and a minor in Finance. I gained valuable knowledge in logistics, warehousing, strategic management, procurement, project management, and modeling/optimization. I also gained the ability to conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses to make optimal investment and operational decisions.
